- BeShirtHappy, on 01/26/2009, -12/+107A real life fairytale... complete with happy ending.
- inactive, on 01/26/2009, -6/+77Stupid Daily Mail tabloid *****! Fake exaggerated BS!
- BuzzEdition, on 01/26/2009, -7/+76Awwwwwwwwwwwwww...
The sheer fact that this was submitted by Jenocide312, makes me feel he actually has a heart ;) - socivitus, on 01/26/2009, -8/+70This is more incredible than Sleeping Beauty...
FTA: Finally, in desperation, he leant over her hospital bed and pleaded: 'Emma, if you can hear me, please just give me a kiss.' 'What happened next was beyond my wildest dreams,' he said. 'She turned her head towards mine, puckered up her lips and gave me a little kiss. The kiss was witnessed by doctors who were astonished by the 34-year-old's sudden response. - mmaine, on 01/26/2009, -13/+49The power of love :-)
Great story! - doublefelix, on 01/26/2009, -4/+37At least the article didn't gloss over the fact that she is still pretty messed up, though I am sure she is grateful for every moment she gets to spend with her family.
- reuscel, on 01/26/2009, -3/+33I'm getting really sick of the Daily Mail.
- IRAcarbombs, on 01/26/2009, -3/+32eww imagine the morning breath ...
- inactive, on 01/26/2009, -8/+35Since the wife did not consent to a kiss, the husband should have been charged with sexual assault.
- keraneuology, on 01/26/2009, -0/+18There actually was such a case awhile back:
<http://www.pantagraph.com/articles/2008/09/12/news ...
"MADISON, Wis. -- Police who videotaped a man having sex with his comatose wife in her nursing home room violated his constitutional rights, an appeals court ruled Thursday.
David W. Johnson, 59, had an expectation to privacy when he visited his wife, a stroke victim, at Divine Savior Nursing Home in Portage, the District 4 Court of Appeals ruled. Therefore, police violated his Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches when they installed a hidden video camera in the room, the court said. - merlin484, on 01/26/2009, -3/+19Your comment reminded me of one of my favorite quotes.
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”
-Jimi Hendrix - mikasaur, on 01/26/2009, -1/+17Can you even begin to imagine how the husband would have felt at that moment?
- bamafun, on 01/26/2009, -6/+21Another example proving it helps to talk to coma victims........... great news!
- AmyVernon, on 01/26/2009, -7/+21She's very lucky to have such a great husband, too. Sticking by her side all this time - as well he should, but how many people would?
- inactive, on 01/26/2009, -3/+16In that case, you won't feel any remorse in being a lonely basement-dweller for the rest of your life.
- Professr, on 01/26/2009, -0/+12Hey man, she turned her head first...
- inactive, on 01/26/2009, -1/+13Someone start a petition to ban dailymail from Digg. I mean for *****'s sake, I was all happy then I read "dailymail.co.uk" and now the happiness is gone knowing that its probably a fake story.
Someone should just create a digg page and have the title say something about a petition against dailymail and then link to it in every dailymail digg page. - Prayer4theDying, on 01/26/2009, -2/+14Humanity just seems lost on some people...
- pintomp3, on 01/26/2009, -5/+17Next on the Daily Fail, little boy's birthday wish for bike comes true. There is no such thing as miracle, only sensationalism.
- EtherGnat, on 01/26/2009, -0/+10Arguably so is everything. That doesn't mean we can't find magic in life.
- jaydj, on 01/26/2009, -0/+9FTA: She was eventually allowed home but now - almost two years later - the former IT consultant still needs ongoing rehabilitation for the brain damage she suffered.
Although the two weeks was tough, it's also been a tough two years. - Haoie, on 01/26/2009, -4/+12Feel good story of the week.
- alphabetagaga, on 01/26/2009, -2/+10God dammit, first the ESPN story about Bill Simmons and his dog, and now this...I'm turning into a god damn sap. Awesome story.
- ByteGuerilla, on 01/26/2009, -0/+8"Feelings are irrelevant."
Just out of interest, is resistance futile too? - inactive, on 01/26/2009, -4/+12Are we talking Jennifer Rush, Huey Lewis and the News Or Frankie Goes to Hollywood?
- inactive, on 01/26/2009, -0/+8@Pepspaa - It appears that you have no self worth, and are trying to justify having a lack of love or happiness in your life by taking the stance that you don't need it anyway. By taking that perspective, it makes your existence more tolerable.
Unfortunately, to the rest of us, it makes you appear like an Emo-borg.
I suppose for you, sex is just a way to mix fluids and procreate, right? - stephhicks68, on 01/26/2009, -4/+12Amazing, uplifting story! I love happy endings!
- getoffmybridge, on 05/05/2009, -2/+10Don't need no credit card to ride this train
- Larsonal777, on 01/26/2009, -0/+8I don't want to take away from the guy... its a really good story... but its been 2 weeks. If he wasn't by her side after only 2 weeks... well then he woulda been a slime bag.
I mean if I was in a coma and my significant other gave up in any less than a year. I don't think I'd want to wake up. - Cloned, on 01/26/2009, -0/+7And then he would have shot her with a Snickers minigun.
- shehoomsntbname, on 01/26/2009, -8/+15And they say fairy tales are not real.
- Rikkochet, on 01/26/2009, -1/+8Are you referring to the SINGLE -1 that each comment has been voted?
I guess one man's league is another man's.... man. - merlin484, on 01/26/2009, -2/+9@pepspaa
The same could be said about you. - 12916studios, on 01/26/2009, -2/+8Disney should totally buy the rights to this and make a movie about it! Oh wait...
- stroudma, on 01/26/2009, -1/+7yea, tis bogus, people love to run with stories like this, elaborate. add their own twist and justify it as saying it's what people want to hear
- uberduger, on 01/26/2009, -0/+6I'm amazed that they weren't able to shoehorn in a comment about how bad the NHS were in not being able to wake her up first.
- liquisoft, on 01/26/2009, -2/+7Once again: I thought we'd all agreed that DailyMail is complete BS. Did something change?
- llamagod, on 01/26/2009, -1/+6Your wife is in a coma, and the word you use to describe kissing her is "creepy"? ^o)
- EzraSchwartz, on 01/26/2009, -0/+5pooping is awesome too, stop being such a curmudgeon.
- gyrfalcon, on 01/26/2009, -3/+7He was probably freaked out because he already spent the life insurance money on a new car. :P
- theword12, on 01/26/2009, -1/+5She would have woken up faster if Mr. T kissed her
- inactive, on 01/26/2009, -0/+4You must live in the land of warm beer and bad teeth.
- thegamingguy, on 01/26/2009, -4/+8This is awesome.
- Skooma714, on 01/26/2009, -0/+3Love will tear us apart.
- inactive, on 01/26/2009, -0/+3Yeah because in those two weeks most people would have run off with another woman and made a new life for themselves.
- Cloned, on 01/26/2009, -5/+8"Husband's kiss wakes sleeping beauty wife in coma", and you comment with this?
You're trying too hard. - inactive, on 01/26/2009, -0/+3Daily Mail *****.
- daeus, on 01/26/2009, -0/+3Oh man, who remembers The Odyssey?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103504/ - theysayjump, on 01/26/2009, -2/+5Nobody hugged you as a child did they reastydirtstar?
Oh what could have been. - HadBeans, on 01/26/2009, -0/+3And how long would it take you to become impatient?
I think if my wife was in a COMA, I might be at my wits end pretty damned quick.
You Sir are a tool. -
