My father-in-law passed away the 27th of October. He lingered for about 3-4 days and told how he was suspended between two worlds and he really liked the other side. He found an indescribible (sp) peace and told us excitedly about it.

He told us about the conversations he was having with people from the other side and how he hated to leave us....that he was torn...but...he really, really liked the other place.

Your account of Esther resembles the account from Ed Morrell and his book (from the early 1900's) called the Twenty-fifth Man. He was in prison but could power his mind to leave his body. He described in detail what he saw and experienced...and said that anybody could do it.

With your posting of Patti's story, you and she have touched more lives, and your message of living life and paying attention to all creatures great and small has been heard.

Bravo.

My father was not a religious man. I think you could say he was a Christian, in a general sense. He never went to church when I was growing up, ever. I never heard him say a prayer even.

At any rate, i think a pastor visited him while he was in hospice in the summer of 2006. No one really knows for sure. I think my father had just been beaten down so much by the cancer, he was a shell of who he used to be. The last time I saw him, 2 months before he died, I didnt recognize him.

Since his death my brother and I, and my sister, have all had varying dreams about him. My sister Megan(who is also very anti-church/God/whatever you wanna call it) cried one day on the phone describing a dream she had.

Megan said in the dream Dad was home all of sudden, and she grabbed hold of him to hug him and he started laughing. Megan was crying and Dad kept laughing and she said "Whats so funny?" Dad looked at her and said "I felt the same way when I saw the Lord. When I saw him, I didnt wanna hug him, but when I did I didnt want to let go."

Now, knowing the kind of man my father was...thats a strange thing for him to say...he never would've said that in life. My sister was so broken up about it...but she said he just smiled in the dream like she'd never seen him smile before.
