This is such a cool story!! I just heard about this book called "heaven is for real" (you can buy it on amazon too), about a boy who almost died when he was about 4. He basically saw his sister in heaven who kept hugging him, among many other things, which completely shocked his parents b/c that baby was a miscarriage he would have never known about at the age of 4. I really want to read the whole book! Sounds like it would be similar type of feelings to what you and your mom experienced!! How cool, thank for sharing!!
