Experience Description

We were at a lake in Washington with lots of kids there. We were jumping off a dock into the water. A boy jumped on top of me and I kept struggling to come up.

Then this beautiful white light with beautiful music came upon me. I stopped struggling and felt a real calmness about me. I never felt such love in my life. I didn't fear anything.

The next thing I remember is having mouth to mouth preformed on me. I don't fear death anymore. I look forward to it when it is time to leave this plane.
