In Pursuit of Life Over Death

All of us have different experiences as we all take the journey of LIFE in this troubled world...and I want to share this with you all, this lengthy story might be impossible to some, but I believe others would go into this, specially those who have strong faith in God...This happened when I was in my 3-day comatose period (I was unconscious by that time, its my mother and my siblings who told me that I was in a coma) right after my brain surgery/operation at the Philippine Gen.Hospital last May 2018...When I luckily became conscious, I thought it was just a wonderful dream....but nahhh, coz my heart is telling me that it was true...that I have had the chance to talk with God when I was fighting between life and death...it was something that would be forever etched in my mind and heart...Believe it or not, my conversation with our Lord was still very fresh in my mind until this time, which ran this way:
Me: (heeding towards a side-viewed man in white, I was so amazed with the incomparable beauty of a place full of colorful, sweet-scented unique flowers with all the greeneries around.I've noticed that the man was intently looking at the sleeping woman lying on a swinging white hammock carried by the soft breeze to and fro.)Sir, why is this woman here?Why didn't she join those people all dressed in white up there, happily singing praises to God?(I pointed to the million winged-people in white just above the cottony stairway.)
Man in white: (still side-viewed, but answered me in a very gentle manner)Yes, my child, this woman is not done yet with her humble tasks on earth and I won't permit her to be with those people above us, it's not her time yet...I am waiting for a man to go downstairs and bring this woman back to the place where she is lying.(All of a sudden, a man came down tiptoed, slowly carried the white hammock with the woman in it, as if he was flying...In a glimpse, he looked very familiar to me, yes, he is!!!He was my father Reynaldo Boy Balasta who was resting already for 10 years now in our Lord's abode...and I had a chance to glance at the sleeping woman there, it was me!!!Yes, it was me!!! With so much confusion in mind, I forcefully faced the man in white...)
Me: That was me Sir, why was it so? How come that the woman is me?!!!
Man in white: Wake up now my child, embrace your son, pick up the pieces along the way and start all over again, live your life the way you want it to be, be happy with the people you love and carefully embrace your precious life...God's graces will gently wake you up...
(Then the man in white stood still in front of me, looked straight into my eyes.... smiling...and in a snap of a finger, he disappeared)ππ©π
Mama: (hugged me tightly) Rose,you are awake now from a 3-day comatose period, you are alive!!!Thank you Lord for saving my daughter from death!!!π’π’π’
(And I've noticed that my mother was the one silently crying for me.)π’ππππ’
