Experience Description

I remember my mother telling me take the dates to the tailor-lady about 4 km away from our home. I remember seeing a pleasant, white shadow in a bright white calming light, despite it being dark with no lights anywhere. The white shadow waved for me to come over. As I walked to him, I saw my paternal grandfather. He had been dead for couple of years. He said, 'Boy, go back to your mom.'

Then I saw myself lying on the table. My mom was crying while sitting by my side. A nurse on the other side of me was removing the blood-soaked cotton. I can see my aunt, who was crying by my feet. My dad and uncle were in the outside hallway. I could hear my uncle on the phone saying, 'If he's not on his way, I am deporting his butt back to Egypt.' Then a man comes running into the room while talking to the nurse as he came towards me saying, 'Get him to the surgery room now.'

I opened my eyes and told my mom that I was sorry for taking the bike and not coming home quickly.
