5 years on from this documentary, we asked you to comment with questions for Alex to answer! Here are his responses: https://youtu.be/4-O7EuZb224
Salute to him and his wife you are both magnificent
God take care of our brothers and sisters please let them be healed.
Hearing him love to golf as someone who loves the game that broke my heart.
right on!!
i had reached over for my phone and posted, on facebook…
"sometimes, we're lucky enough, to be given second chances"
and then, as i put my phone down.. i slipped off into my coma.
that was just the beginning , again , for me though.
the beginning of the best life i could have imagined for me.
people ask me, how on earth do you manage the pain, everyday?
I consider the pain part of the gifts that ive received.
The pain is a constant reminder, of what my option would have been ,
without it.
and thats was simply not understanding the opportunities ..
truly living life….
has to offer us.
i realized the moment i was revived…
Thats all our lives are.
Opportunities to improve ourselves…..
or the lives of those around us.
Time & again, looking at cases such as this….make me ponder to the deepest philosophical depths of my mind, to think that the most genuine loveable souls…tend to endure/suffer the most horrid things that life throws at them just like that…for absolutely no apparent reason of punishment. It really make me have a bit of pessimism to think if life is just but random happenstance…no regard to who or how its going to make that random dice throw of circumstance.
Man when she said he looked like a clown! That tore me up seeing the pain he felt.
Bless you Alex Lewis i wish you a beatiful Life☺
Amazing wife!!! Can we just appreciate how blaźe and how much love she has for him… she acts like nothing has happened… I want love like that!
I just got out of rehab after two and a half months. It's rough. Not as rough as what Alex is going through. I only broke my heel.
He still has nice hair!
I just watched Alex's story, I'm so sorry for what you went through,it doesn't matter what you look like on the outside,it's what's on the inside that makes you a beautiful person, and God gave you this testimony to tell, God kept you here because he's not done with you yet,your son knows you love him and he will always love you,thank you for sharing your story with everyone,and may God bless you and your family, I pray for all good things for you,and further more you are still a handsome man and you have a beautiful family
This poor guy, omg! His positivity and perseverance is very inspiring. 😢
And his dog showing unconditional love…I love dogs.
I honestly don't know if I'm strong enough to endure what this man and family have endured. They're a revelation and true inspiration for how to endure and overcome tragedy. Thank you for sharing your story. Sending you love from Connecticut, USA. I'm so proud of you and your family
I wouldn’t have his strength. I’d off myself if this happened to me. I’m too vain
God bless Him and his family
What a wonderful and great women
God bless this family. 🙏
Beautiful story God Bless this Family 🙏🏿👨👩👦❤
Hi Mr Alex always remember that God loves you 🙏🙏
Holy Spirit be his COMFORT…
Despite his condition he is a beautiful man. My heart breaks for him and his family. This man is a hero. Look at the beauty in his eyes.
astounding wow what a story what a strenght this guy has and lucy also has a great love for im 100% respect
Oh phew. So he didn't get big lips done by plastic surgery as a racist joke.
I'd rather have just died. Let's be honest.
She's a good and very strong woman. And that kid is super cute. He's lucky to have them.
The scene where his son's first day of school and Alex was outside the fence while everyone else was inside fence was so symbolic.
Some throw away life. Some kill. He just what to live.❤
Arms with only a hook is so barbaric! Havent we progressed more than this?
What an amazing family
