I got crushed to death!

I was unloading coils of steel off a semi-truck. The load was short blocked, so I cut the steel banding. Then the coil rolled forward, bounced and rolled back pushing me onto the forks of the forklift.

The next thing I saw was me, doing the post-mortem kick. Then the angel holding my hand told me, 'You're not done here!' He took me to a place that I can only describe as a Light and Sound, and the feeling of Love like in my mother's arms. Knowing that I was safe, I wanted to stay there!

The angel told me, 'You're not done here, you have to go back!' The next thing that I saw was the paramedics putting the pads to me. Pain, fear, I can't breathe, went into shock. After eight hours of the doctors trying save my life, I was moved to the intensive care unit. When I woke up my mother was holding my hand - I passed out! Sometime later - about eighteen hours - I woke-up again in pain. My mom was still holding my hand. I started to cry!

More later.

Light and Love to All!

Joseph
