So I've been watching a few episodes of a TV show called 'Awake'. And it's made me think.
The show's premise is simple - A man meets with an accident with his wife and son. After the accident his reality seems to split. In one reality his wife is alive and his son is dead, and in the other reality his son is alive and his wife is dead. Or maybe there's just one reality and the other is a dream. Or he's in a coma and both realities are a dream. Hmmm... okay maybe it's not too simple, but anyway... getting back to the point.
As a man, as a husband, as a father, what would he choose if he had to?
As a woman, neither a wife nor a mother, I wonder what I would choose. Lose my husband who I presumably loved enough to marry, or lose my child? (Everyone seems confident that mothers would choose their children over their husbands, but I don't think that's always the case!)
I think I know, but I'm not sure. And I pray God that I never actually find out.
