I also had a near death experience when I was 12. 3 Weeks after a car crash I briefly died. For anyone interested I wrote about part of it here
WWW.barronbourne.blog.com bottom of the page. Obviously I was too young to look back and the circumstances of trauma don't allow for clarity of mind. But I gotta tell ya guys.....it's groovy.
Knowing what I know I don't think I'll look back at all. I may regret leaving my wife behind but I'll embrace the light. Hopefully I'll have and show remorse for my wrong doings to others but there is a great adventure ahead before I'm scrubbed clean of memories and reseeded elsewhere.
