I remember being in a beautiful garden with huge flowers and big colorful butterflies. Someone in all white escorted me to this place, and there were other children there. I remember running and playing with them and nobody seemed to be different because the love was so strong. What captured my attention is someone calling my name. The more I heard it, the stronger it became familiar to me. It was my mother’s voice and I was always taught to obey my parents. That is exactly what I did. The person who was watching me walked across the bridge and said goodbye to me. I was too young to understand what had happened and didn’t think much about it until years later.
My mother told me when she woke up that morning, she came in the room to check on me and she noticed I didn’t respond. She also told me that my pupils had dilated and by her being a nurse, she knew I was in trouble. She took me to the emergency room; the doctors couldn’t find anything wrong so I figured it must have been ordered by God. The knowledge I gained was used years later when my mother was in a coma, dying from a major heart attack. I told my father and family members to keep calling her name even though she was brain dead and remained in a coma for five weeks. The doctors told us to let her go but by my experience, I knew she could hear us no matter how long she was in that coma. One day my father called her name and she answered. We were all excited and the doctors didn’t understand; her test was still showing she was brain dead. Hope this story helps someone.Explore the Extraordinary >>

Five-year-old girl has ski accident and almost dies of allergic reaction in hospital
The year was 1986 - I had just gotten permission to take one last run down the ski hill. A 5-year-old on a mission to follow a "hidden trail" through the woods. We placed skittles down so we could take the same track. It was FUN!! Until I lost control & hugged a tree dead center. It knocked me unconscious.

Positioned at the opening of a tunnel I could see in the distance my parents slowly advancing toward me. The tunnel appeared no more than about eight feet in diameter. Light was glowing from behind them and around them. I watched with curiosity and soon realized they were coming for me. I sensed others behind them.

I woke up in a hotel room. I traveled for a living so I reached for my cell phone on the nightstand on my left, like always. I needed to know if it was midnight or almost time to get up. I was with my boyfriend, Joel; I could tell from the snoring. We were on vacation.
I wriggled to sit up but something didn’t work. My thrashing woke Joel who turned on the light just as I fell out of bed. He came around to see if I was ok and quickly saw I was not right. He said “smile.” I did and he said, “I think you had a stroke.”
