The day that I died. Heaven and Hell and an after life too? Many people believe there are such places for our dearly departed. I personally have died from poisoning and can say, without any doubt, I believe in an after life. On April 2, 1997 A woman ( no names will be used ) was arrested for poisoning me. She was released for lack evidence to support the case.
I was in the hospital surrounded by doctors and nurses. When the heart monitor flat lined with that continuous beeeee... sound. I was floating in the air above myself. I watched them pull the I.V. out of my arm. I could hear them talking and the doctor called the time of death. When they were pulling the sheet over my head. I moved close to look at my self, one last time. In that instance, I felt someone take hold of my hand. I turned to see a beautiful woman holding my hand. She said," it is not your time yet. You must go back." Everything happened so fast that it was a blur. I was back in my body. I was trying to pull the tube out of my throat to say something. The doctor and a nurse came quickly back to hook me up to their machines again. At the time all this was happening, She was still there, holding my hand. No one else acknowledged or could see her except for myself.
Later that day, I woke up in my room. I had an I.V. in my arm and the heart monitor beeping at my bedside. I began thinking about my experience. It was an incredible feeling of weightlessness and freedom. ( I loved the way it felt.) In my thoughts I began to regret not staying dead. I closed my eyes tight to try and stop my tears of regret. I was surprised by a touch on my shoulder. Upon opening my eyes, I could not see anyone at my bedside. But the feeling of that touch lingered for a moment longer.
If you believe in an after life, then you have to know, there are people who are waiting for you when you die. Who is waiting for you? In my opinion; that is determined by who loves you, who cares for you, and who thinks of and remembers you. Are you the kind hearted person who has gained the respect of many? A person who has helped others in their time of need? I know I have. Even to the woman that poisoned me.
You can't judge your fans by all fanatics.
Yes, I forgave her and that is what leads me to believe in a place called Hell. Because everything has an opposite. If there is a good place, then there has to be a bad place too. I believe myself and others like me have a say, as to who gets to go where. Because, On December 15,1997 The same woman ( no names will be used ) was arrested for stabbing me in the chest with a steak knife. I was in great pain and and I had limited breath to speak. But, I promised her, that I will be waiting for her when she dies!
