I've heard on tv and read in books, where people near death would say they saw family members that had been dead for many years. and I've often wondered about this. here is a story that my mother told me today. my mother is 77 years old, and she is the third born of 7 girls. they all are christians. and 3 of her sisters has died in the last 14 months. the last one died last week. about a week before she died, my mother and her baby sister was sitting with their sick sister and she raised up and said to my mother, I am not crazy, I know that you two have been with me all day. and I know you can't see them. but they are here, standing right there at the foot of my bed. she said her mother and dad and her little boy that died over 40 years ago were there. my mother said that her sick sister ask them to have a seat on her bed. my mother said she didn't know what to think. but the look on her sisters face, said she was looking at what she said she was. I believe with all my heart that life goes on, I think that death is the gateway to the other side. we all have a number, and God almighty will call us as our turn comes. what do you all think about this subject. have any of you ever witnessed anything like this first hand.
