EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION

When I was 14, I went to visit friends for the weekend. We went to the pool. I couldn't swim and my friend Fay was joking around and she pushed me I fell back into the deep part of the pool and I couldn't get back up, they thought I was being silly, but I was actually drowning. I was told that it wasn't until they saw me laying still on my back that they realized I was in trouble.  

At some point I was floating in the air, not my body, but my spirit. I saw a  crowd gathering on the landing by the pool and my was able to see that it was me on the floor and I saw my friend Fay and Jess crying while everyone was screaming call the ambulance, Is she ok? It was then that some force drew me to the most beautiful and peaceful place that I have ever experience. As I was floating towards the gate of this beautiful place, I saw my dead maternal grandmother whom I've never met, but she came to me and called me by name and said its not my time, she then showed me my mother in our kitchen in Brooklyn, and she said "Do you know what this would do to her?", she would never forgive herself for allowing you to convince her to let you go spend the weekend with friends. I then saw the light, I was being drawn into the light, It was the most calming, peaceful experience I've ever felt.
