I am startled awake by the sound of unfamiliar music and hear the rhythm of my heart. I'm terrified as if I'm being engulfed by an immense sea of water. I can't tell what I'm going through because I can't see! What is going on with me? I'm completely baffled. I squint and pull my lower eyelid down, but all I see is black! I groped in the dark, feeling alienated. I have an unsettling feeling that I am being watched. I can hear whispering voices in the distance. I stand up and move forward, but a bright white light radiates through me, and the intensity of it is such that I can hardly see.

Where am I? Closer, I hear a rustling sound of wings. Moving forward though I cannot still see, I hear angelic voices sing praises. Someone patted my shoulder, led me to a room, and drew a chair for me to sit in "Do not be afraid" a resonant voice told me because He knows that I am uneasy and the entire situation is confusing me still further. He holds my icy hands, then my face. On His hands, I smell a very strong and sweet odor that's hard to ignore. Then He snaps His fingers and it surprises me and it makes me see. I look at the surroundings and I am in awe of what I see. I was taken aback, and I looked at him puzzled. "Who are you, and what brings me here? He did not answer. Instead, he said, You'll no longer be lonely, and no questions will be asked. Come, I will lead you to the source of your pain."

The garden is bursting at the seams with blooming flowers! When I look at myself, I see that I am dressed in a white gown and that someone in a white dress appeared. I'm surprised that she/he is not only dressed in a white gown, but also has wings on her/his back! I turn to face Him, but the intense white light that surrounds Him almost blinds me. He clings to me and embraces me. "It can be anything you want it to be: ultimate destination, eternal home, or the celestial fields. Now go! Someone is waiting for you."

I ran quickly, and when I got to the person He was referring to, I was stunned to see the one I had loved, who was smiling at me and waiting for me. He embraced me tightly as we both sobbed for joy. We looked at Him, and He said, "You'll both be eternally happy now."
