Hello.
I had a learn full experience in my life in this year. I am not proud to tell about that to anyone , but i am so thankfully to my girlfriend who saved my life.When i fell a sleep at driving seat, she saw that car is going to wrong way and started to scream, than i realize that i have been closed my eyes. And somehow with some drift elements i stopped car and hug my girlfriend so hard...... 
I can easy say, that my girlfriend is my most important person what i know....
...just kidding of course... has to be my girlfriend...isn't it
...probably wouldn't be even alive without her in the present time although not in so literally and dramatic way as your story.
