Though I rately think or talk about this, the recent posts about 911 and the tragic loss of life reminded me of something that I experienced some time ago and I was wondering what your opinions on the subject are.
Several years ago I came to the aid of a guy who had been severely injured. He was a mess and I began giving him CPR. My buddy called for help but it was going to take some time for anyone to get to us. While giving him CPR - I noticed we were surrounded by people. Chuck didn't seem concerned and I was too busy to care but I could clearly see the people out of my periferral vision.
When help finally relieved, I stood up and saw only Chuck. I asked him where all the people came from and where did they go? Puzzled he said there was no one else around.
To make a long story short, the guy died minutes after I was relieved - I still don't even know his name. I relived that night many nights. The weird thing was - as I best can recall - the "people" that I "saw" standing around us were wearing church clothes and holding hands with their heads bowed. (This was completely out of place) Their presence (from memory) gave me a sense of peace.
I don't know what to think about this. Was it shock? My mind playing a trick on me to dampen the horrific reality of the situation. Or do you think they could have actually been angels?
