a Heart attack. I went to our local hospital, after
test were done, they found that all my Arteries were
blocked and that I needed to have bypass surgery done.
I was transferred to another Hospital, where they
did the surgery, during the procedure I expired on

rows of Tulips, rows of Roses etc, and they would
change places, for example there would be Roses, Tulips
Glads. etc, then you would see the Roses where the
Tulips were and the Tulips where the Glads. were and

mother, who had passed on several years ago standing in the
middle of them with her hands uplifted singing Praises to God.
(she loved Flowers.) After I viewed this for awhile,
the scene changed to a field with a stream running through it.
Then I saw my dad walking by this stream he too was
Praising God, then I saw one of my old Sunday School teachers

just how great it all was and how good it was to be home,
I was suddenly interrupted by a soft voice, that said:
