Neiva Y Probable NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

When I was around 4 years old, I had serious asthma.  We didn't know it was asthma yet, so it wasn't treated.  One night, I had a very, very severe asthma attack.   

Suddenly I was flying, slowly following an angel who was only partly visible down my stairs.  It felt very real.  I felt wonderful and calm, and I wanted to keep following her for a long time.  The light was so bright it was almost white. But then I realized that I wanted to be with my mom, and that I missed her.  I wanted to go back to my normal life.  Then, it felt like the angel was pulling me towards her, but at the same time I was being sucked backwards.  She released me, and I flew through my house back into my room.   

When we found out that what I had was asthma, the doctor said that I was very close to dying.  I spent many years after that experience wondering what had happened, and wanting it to happen again. I didn't realize until now that what happened may have been a near death experience.  It has changed my life, and I'm not afraid to die anymore.  Although I want to have many more years in this world, when my time comes, I won't be afraid to go to a new one.
