I remember going to lie down on the couch with a quilt as I was not feeling well. I have no memory of real life for the next 3 weeks. My son had me ambulanced to the hospital, as he could not take me himself. When he arrived at the hospital behind the ambulance, he was told I wasnt going to make it, and to call family, and make arrangements. I had renal failure. I remember moving into a dark area, no light, no sound. I stood for some time not moving. I remembered the day my son was born, and how joyous I was, feeling like I had just been re-united with a long lost friend. When our eyes met, it was like he recognized me too. I loved him so much it hurt, each day with him was wonderous. As I stood in that dark area with no light and no sound, I was afraid to move, feeling somehow I would be swept away. I didnt want to go, I didnt want to leave my son, and I remember yelling out, "I don't want to be here, I can't leave him". I woke up, and saw him sitting there. Someone had told him to take care of himself, get sleep, eat. He said, "without her there is no me". I firmly believe in reincarnation, he and I had been together many times before, we are as connected as day and night. I believe I made the choice to stay. Maybe death isnt a certainty.
