On Friday, May 13, 1994, I was in a car accident that did not injure the driver, but left me (the passenger) barely clinging to life. I was in a coma for 12 days and I am unsure of exactly when this event took place, but I remember it as though it happened this morning...

All I remember is being in a very dark tunnel with a bright light off in the distance. There were many people walking around alongside and in front of me. All of these people were in shadows and it was difficult to determine if I actually knew any of these people, but every person was emitting tremendous love for me.

Suddenly, I heard the voice of a friend who has passed away 5 years previously. She was so excited to see me and she wanted me to "come on over so she could catch me up on all the gossip". She kept raving about how much she had missed me and said she could not wait to spend time with me again.

While she was talking, I suddenly heard another friend (who had also passed about three years earlier) strumming his guitar and signing the words to a song he had written for my sister and me. I had not heard that song since he had passed, but I recognized the song immediately. I felt so comfortable wherever I was. I felt loved, comfortable, peaceful, and euphoric. I wanted to embrace both of these long lost friends as I told them both how much I had missed them, but as I tried to take a step forward some force prevented it as though there was a line that I could not cross yet.

The friend playing the guitar told me that if I came over to stay, he would write another song for me. I desperately wanted to stay, but I told both of my friends that I had to go tell my parents where I was going and then I would be back, they both agreed that was a good idea.

I have nearly fully recovered from that accident, but I will never forget the feeling of love and total acceptance that I felt wherever I was when I spoke to my two friends. I am no longer afraid of death as I know that I will have a place to go that is much better than life could ever be here on Earth.

Thank You Lord for loving us so much to give us the chance to join you in a world full of warmth and euphoria after we have completed our purpose here on Earth.
