It was 36 years ago that I left my country to come to USA to go to school as an exchange student. The communication with my family was some how very limited, maybe once a month. Regardless of long distance, I was very close to my family especially my mother. It was about 30 years ago while I was sleeping my mother came to my dream laying down in bed and told me " Aki I missed you a lot, but I am dying". It was a very disturbing dream if you call it only a dream, but unfortunately after calling the very next day, I found out that she passed away and exactly the time that she told me she missed me....., my brother said that he was laying down by her and notice she is saying something but he couldn't hear it. I was devastated.

After 2 weeks past by, I was mourning and praying for her. It was time that on and off sometimes she was coming to my dream and I could see her till one day it was around 6:00pm I was in my apartment, and I notice there is something moving on the top of my head. At first I thought it is just my imagination, then I realized that no this being is moving up and down on the top of my head, where ever I go, it is right above my head, it is like waiting for me to go to sleep that she/he can talk to me. All the sudden I realized that this must be my mom who came to visit me. As soon as I realized it could be my mom, and I could see that being, I asked her" Mom I know you are here, I know you can't talk to me in a physical way, and I know you are waiting for me to sleep that I can have spiritual connection, but please let me know how is it over there? how are you doing? I want to know you are ok and I know you can't talk to me but I know I know you can hear me. As soon as I go to bed, please let me know. I finished my conversation with her and it was about 10:00 pm , and time for me to sleep.

As soon as I turned the light off, all the sudden my body was raised and I entered to a tunnel of light. What a light, what a beauty, what an experience, what a stunning glory. I have no word to satisfy this tunnel  of light, light all over, and endless light, and endless tunnel, but there was so much I could go, only because it wasn't my time yet. I was stopped at one edge which was a big black hole, black as dark as black color and the other side of the black hole, here she was, my mother in a very peaceful space, it was very content, but wondering what is going to happen to me it was like she knew, I will be thrown to that big black hole, but at that point I didn't know. When I looked at my mother, There was a voice of a man  who advised me " Do not ask this question again" and space that my mother was had echo and that statement was repeated a few time, and then I was thrown down to that black hole, and I jumped, my soul came back to my body.

My body was soak wet and immediately I turned the light on to see what time it is. amazingly the clock didn't change, it was still 10:00 o'clock. Yes, I saw what I saw, and I know what I saw, and I got the answer where my mom is and the path that takes us to different places after we die. That endless tunnel of light with different edge for different people and different purpose. I know my mom was in a peaceful space and she is the one who was worry about me and showed me not to worry about her. I thank God for the experience, I thank God for his greatness, I thank God for everything and anything, and his blessing upon us.
