My father was in the ICU following a massive stroke. The doctors gave him a 5% chance of survival. As I sat beside him, the room filled with what I can only describe as warm golden light. My father opened his eyes, squeezed my hand, and said "It's so beautiful." He passed peacefully two hours later. It was not a tragedy. It was a homecoming.
