Experience Description

I was involved in a motor accident. I was a pedestrian and was hit by a car going sixty five miles per hour on a forty five mile per hour zone. I was told that my brother brought me back as he was a fire fighter with the hot shots. Well, I felt like I was lifted up. I felt like I had jumped over a wooded fence and ended up in a place that I know doesn't belong on this earth. Like in a whole new dimension. It almost looked like a painting. The most beautiful long grass with the wind blowing it perfectly. I could smell a fulfilling kind of air strong like a paint, but sweet like cotton candy. I will never forget the smell. I can still smell it about three or four times a month. I brought that back with me! I saw Jesus dressed as the shepherd and the Virgin Mary. Jesus was gazing through the grass. The Virgin Mary was standing on something that looked like rocks made of a mixture of gold, diamonds, pearls, and silver. I also saw two children. A little blonde-golden-haired girl and a little boy with black hair. They were kneeling near the pile of beautiful rocks where the Virgin Mary was standing. I was standing in the middle of this amazing field looking at all of them at what felt like the same time.

Without physically talking to me, I could understand them all. The children kept signing me to keep going and Jesus kept extending his right hand and telling that I could stay or that could go. What got me thinking all these years was how Jesus signed with his hand. The way he has his hands on the sacred heart of Jesus. I keep looking at the children and they were very persistent that I keep going. I felt heaviness and something pulling me back. Next thing I know I woke up from an eight day coma. Kneeling and praying the fifteen minutes with The Lord was my mother at my bed side. My parents were told that because of the severe head trauma and brain surgery, I had a twenty percent chance I would wake up and even if I did I'd be a vegetable. If nothing more, I would have to learn everything like a baby all over again! Well, to the doctor's surprise I woke up like nothing had ever happened to me. It was a miracle is all they could say.

For the longest time after the experience, I couldn't understand who those two children were. Finally, later on I had my first child and she was born with blonde-golden hair. And then my second child, a son, with black hair. They looked just like the children where I landed in that different dimension. Well here, I am today. A true miracle!
