It didn&#8217;t dawn on me that they could not see or hear me, until I went back to that room and saw that I was looking down on me.<\/p>\n<p>Wow, then I felt myself floating down a long hall to the operating room and I watched for a while only to see a beautiful light. So bright, with a blue aura. I went into the light and I was met by spirits from my family who had went before. My grandmother told me I had to go back, but I begged her to stay. She stated that it was not my time yet. But I went passed her only to see this figure who touched me on my shoulder and said no, your time is not now, you must go back.\u00a0 I clung to this figures\u00a0robe and said that I feel so much peace here, a great sense of calmness, this place is so beautiful, but gently I was ushered towards another light, that was yellow and white.<\/p>\n<p>Then I saw a hand reach up to grab hold of mine and the figure told me to take the hand, you will be alright, for it is not your time. So I reached for the hand, only to feel like I was in a vacuum and with a thump I was back in my body.<\/p>\n<p>When I returned, I heard them call a code on me and again my family rushed to my bedside. I was still clinging to the hand that brought me back and that hand belong to my baby brother, who latter told me he sat there holding my hand for 5 days and prayed that I would come back.<\/p>\n<p>D.P.<\/p>\n<p style='text-align:left'>&copy; 2006 &#8211; 2010, <a href='https:\/\/aleroy.com\/blog'>Lekatt<\/a>.
