Let me explain. On that day in May, my life was changed forever because a teenager ran a red light. I suffered a severe brain stem injury and medically died. Immediately, I was transported to heaven's doorstep. Knowing I was surrounded by loved ones, I felt like I was "home". I saw my grandmothers, who told me my body would heal. They said, "Go back and be happy."​ My mom and dad's stubborn refusal to allow the doctors to disconnect life support gave me the opportunity to return to life.
