Our near death experiences - The reason we live life to the fullest

In today's video we tell you not only our story but the story of Aimee being diagnosed with Cancer, Craig's near death experience breaking his neck and how these life changing experiences have made us live life to the fullest.
We also chat about where and when Kinging-it began and how it's evolved into the channel it is today.
We have travelled the world and taken you with us, but do you really know the real Craig and Aimee? We're stripping it back. Here's how we met, in a nutshell.

I found a crack that allowed me to still use MSN (because normally it just wouldn't work anymore) and speak to my contacts who were using Skype. And then, there was Facebook, and then Whatsapp.... I had over 5K contacts on my MSN..... I still miss it!!

(I was awful tho lol) I remember seeing her around school tho and she was exactly like she is now. Anyway..I'm obsessed with you guys now too! I found you just a couple days ago and cant tell you how many videos I've watched so far. I'm glad I found this one cuz I've wanted to know your story so much! You guys are amazing. And I'm so lucky to have found you. You have made me smile so much in the last couple days. And I so appreciate that. I'm excited I still have so much catching up to do so I can continue smiling thru them all. You have no idea how much I've needed these smiles and laughs either.

    It's a week or two, I've became familiar with you and the first word reaches to my mind after each video is exactly the last sentences in this last video: "This couple are REAL." And it's so precious, so Keep going. Hope you'll find the truth one day in your journeys.

    Wow, I'm so glad everything has worked out for you! I do understand how those sort of experiences can change your life. When I was 23, a few months after my daughter's birth, I started getting flashes going on and off in my left eye. I didn't think much of it at the time, but after a few months I finally went to the doctor. He said to me, if you don't have a surgery now, you will go blind. It turns out I had a retinal detachment in my left eye and retinal tears in both. The recovery wasn't pleasant to say the least, but at least nowhere near as hard as what I imagine you went through and I managed to keep my eyesight. I had to give up studying for a law degree though. It kick started panic attacks that lasted for about 6 months and depression that lasted for years (I've been free from it for 3 years now!) A few months later, the 3 of us where in a car accident. Me and our daughter were fine, but a week later, my husband's eyesight kept dissapearing. We rushed to the A&E. In the accident one of his arteries in the neck had torn and he had carotid artery detachment, he was getting mini strokes, which caused his eyesight to go off. It also took a while to recover, but he fully recovered from it, baffling the doctors. The thing is I wouldn't change anything about those experiences, because they really did teach us a lot about ourselves, each other and the importance of life! I wish you both all the best in the world! And I can't wait to keep watching your journey!

    I’m new to your channel, so this backstory is really meaningful for me. I really admire you two. My husband and I could get on each other’s nerves after only two weeks in our motor home, so I can’t imagine what it takes for you to be so positive and loving, full time. Going through such harrowing experiences must have created such a powerful bond!
