It all started one stormy, cold night.Where a child's life changed forever.

Lights zoomed and passed in a blur, loud sirens sounded of in the distance.
A voice spoke to him, but it was a garbled mess.
All the young child felt was a slight pain in his abdomen.

"It's okay Zachary, you'll be okay...we'll be okay" His moms worried voice spoke in amongst the swaying of the fast moving vehicle.

"Mom?" He tried to move his mouth to say that one word but all he managed was a small croak.
He felt his vision slowly turning dark, fading at the edges the more he struggled to open his eyes.

His ears ringing from the white noise...then..with a small breath his body went limp, falling underneath the comforting darkness.

All he felt was as if he were floating, covered in a warm blanket.
But he knew he could not go towards the white light at the end of the tunnel where beeping noises could be heard.

He had to turn back, to where it pulsates and glowed a blueish hue, there in the middle of all the blue hue stood an angel in white, her smile as bright as the sun itself.

"Come with me, little one" She said as she held out her soft small delicate hand.
