I had a friend in the hospital and had been going to see him for 4 days he was by best friend and on the morning he died I was sleeping but I was woke up by something and I opened my eyes and saw a bright light over by my bedroom wall and it moved up to the ceiling and disappeared and I remember thinking why is that light in my room and I went right back to sleep. About an hour later my phone rang and it was my friends mother telling me that my friend had died and would I meet her at the hospital.
