When I was twelve years old, my great grandmother became very ill with colon cancer. She went through treatment in the beginning, but it was not working and she was at the age that she felt she was ready to die. Her husband had been dead fifteen years, so when she got sick, her 8 kids and their spouses took turns looking after her.
One night, my great grandmother took a turn for the worst so my grandmother called her siblings together to help make her mother in-law as comfortable as possible. She continued to hold on through half the night, then she asked to be alone. Her kids left the room and went to their separate rooms. At around 11pm, my grandmother heard her father's voice coming from my great grandmother's room. He said as clear as day, "Its time to go now clarice..." My grandmother rushed to the room and realized that her siblings were also there. They had all heard their father's voice and my great grandmother was dead.
To this day my grandmother will swear that this happened, and why would every other person in that house hear the same thing if it had not been real? My family is devout church of christ and to know that there is a place that we are "going" when we die is just another reason to have faith in heaven and our lord.
