TRANSCRIPT

So from the calendar I miss the six weeks, but I have my visit / I have experienced. So I have witnessed my wife, where washed my legs. My two children. A couple of friends, they even sang a song at the bedside, I witnessed that and I also witnessed the care in between. And what was really exciting for me was that I was in the room with the people, I wasn't in pain, but then my wife cried and said: please stay here. That moved me emotionally. And saddened, but I never had pain and the room was a warm, bright light. And I felt um it may sound crazy now but amazingly very comfortable in that light. And the / like I said, the nurses I came with. One of them was very funny, he had a curly beard, curly hair and was very, very sensitive, I noticed that. And then a male nurse approached me. He said to the other, they were then two in the relief, then he said I think he comes something with the experiences something. And then he told me, if I hear him, I should move with my eyes // although they were closed. And so I gave them the sign and he was very happy. But also my friends who later came to visit me in the intensive care unit, they almost fell off their chairs when I first thanked them for being there and singing the song. Because they thought I hadn't even noticed. And yes, at some point it was very intense, because my wife and children said stay here, stay here. And then I just prayed to God that He would give me another chance, that I would be allowed to return again and then the light got brighter and brighter and suddenly I realized that I opened my eyes and they were so glued shut. And then there was a bit of a commotion in the room because they had then washed my eyes and so, and were all very happy that I was back.
