pastorfred:

Thanks, y'all for your kind comments regarding my sharing of this story.

One of the most comforting concepts I've learned from those who study life after this life, including and especially Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, is that no one ever dies alone. Without exception, everyone who comes back from dying and being resuscitated describes someone coming to be with them and accompany them in the transition.

Front-Ranger:
That's also what the Tibetan Book of the Dead teaches. I just finished hearing a discussion of it by Robert Thurman that was immensely interesting.

Oh My Pastor fred, That is such a moving story, I am glad you shared it with us.

Have you remained in touch with your Ennis? How has life turned out for him? :'(

We stayed in touch for a while, and my Ennis was a comfort to me when my mother died at the end of the following September.

He was a devout Mormon, believing sincerely that the Heavenly Father was calling him into a heterosexual life. If he married a woman, I hope and pray that she is one who will be deeply understanding and appreciative of his story.

I tried to locate him a year or two later, with no success. I'm sure the three of us will meet again, in a better world.  ;)
