Rocky T. Possible NDE

Experience Description

My son, Rocky, was adopted from Africa when he was almost 5. He didn’t understand normal life here in the states.

He went on a school field trip to a bowling lane with his elementary class. He got on the bus to return to school and fell asleep or passed out. On the way to the school the teacher tried waking him and couldn’t. She was very worried. She waited until they got back to school to do anything. She ran him into the office. Still, nobody called 911. They paged my husband to come to the office. When my husband got to the office, Rocky was still unresponsive. My husband then tried waking him. He finally woke up. My husband knew something was not right, even as he brought him home to rest. We put him in our bed and I started talking to him. I asked about the field trip and he couldn’t remember anything about that day. Then I started asking him names of his friends who were with him on the field trip. He looked at me like he had no idea what I was talking about. I grabbed some pictures of his friends and he had no idea who they were. At first, I thought he was joking. But then, Rocky was not a joker like that. I then asked Rocky what he remembered from that day.

He said, 'Mom there was a man wearing all white who was taking me to this bright white room. In the room I saw all these other people with white clothes. They surrounded this man.

I couldn’t ask if he knew them because he hadn’t met any of my grandparents that passed but I can guess those were the people surrounding him. For him to tell me this I was shocked. I called his doctor right away but was told not to bring him in because he was doing ok. This happened on a Friday and by that Sunday he remembered his friends. I don’t think he ever remembered the field trip that day. I even have a picture from that day when he couldn’t remember. I think this is unique because he was from a totally different culture. He never learned anything of the bright lights, or all white surroundings and clothes.
