When Danielle Hawkins' husband Scott had a severe stroke at the age of 37, doctors told her that he would never regain consciousness.
On that fateful day no one saw Scott's stroke coming.
“He called me and he was slurring his words,” Danielle recalled. “He said he had an intense headache and that something was wrong. We both called 911. He got through before I did.”
When they arrived at the hospital, doctors told Danielle to call his family members because he would not make it through the night.
Scott did die, but just for a few minutes. “They lost him for a few minutes,” Danielle said. “He had loss of oxygen because of that, too.”
When doctors told her it was time to say goodbye she didn't. She kissed him instead.
"I didn’t [say goodbye], because every time I kissed him, he kissed me back.”
She kissed him and though he had been motionless, Scott kissed her back. Stories like this prove that sometimes all you need is love; in another instance, doctors believed an infant was stillborn, but when her twin sister hugged her, she came back to life!
Normally in fairytales it's the prince who kisses the princess and wakes her up but in this real-life story, Danielle's love revived Scott.
Five weeks later, Scott no longer needed a ventilator, he could breathe on his own.
"He’s a musician, so I would bring in thumb guitars. He would flick the notes. Doctors said it was just a reflex. I told him to change the notes and he did.”
Danielle knew her husband so well she knew exactly what he needed to get better: her faith in him and music.
Today, Scott is healthier and they're still in love.
