When I was 12 years old, I tried to get out of going to school one day by complaining of stomach pains. My mother took me right to the doctor who determained it was my appendix. I knew it was nothing but couldn't be caught in a lie so I went along with his diagnosis. The next dau I was preped for surgery and wheeled into the operating room. I had been given meds to make me drowsey so it was not a problem to close my eyes and fall asleep. As I closed my eyes, the bright light got brighter and brighter until it enveloped me in it's brightness. I remember feeling loved and held as if someone had their arms around me, I knew there were other people there but I didn't see them. I opened my eyes, or thought I did anyway, and watched in fasination at the surgery being performed on my body still on the table. I felt because of the deep concern in the room that something was not right but didn't feel afraid or worried at all. The next time I opened my eyes I was in my room wit! h my family around my bed. Much later I found out the doctor had performed an exploratory surgery instead of an appendoctomy. I have always had a feeling of purpose in my life although I don't know what it is. This happened 52 years ago, and I truly feel I have had a charmed life. I do not fear death, I have always felt a great inner peace, and am sure God chose for me to live. It was a long time before I told anyone about this, after all who would believe a 12 year old kid, especially one that lied about having a stomach ache?
