EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

It was in the morning hours after taking my kids to school that I felt very tired and went and laid down and fell into a deep sleep. I suddenly found myself in a hospital hallway and there was a lady across from me. She did not say anything to me but let me know that she wanted me to follow her and so I did. She looked like a nurse. She led me to this office and there was a man sitting behind a desk. We talked but we did not talk verbally. It was like telepathy. I looked beside me and there were 2 very tall identical men dressed the same. They were standing next to me. Maybe they were my guardian angels, I don't know. Suddenly I hear the laughter if a woman. It was a very joyous laughter. Then I see a woman walk in, still laughing and behind her was a huge angel with wings. He brought her there for me to see her. She looked at me and smiling said my name. But not verbally. She was smiling. She was young, beautiful and healthy . It was my mother who had died in a hospital in 1994. I wanted to hug her but the angel did not let me. He told me I could not touch her because 'I haven't died yet.' I did not understand what he meant by that. It was an unforgettable experience.
