Comment from Ric Myworld
I'm an old hard boot who isn't bothered by too much, or at least not much that I let anyone know. I read a lot of stories and it isn't often one pulls at my discrepant heart strings. But you've certainly pulled a few. Thanks for sharing. And congratulations on your contest win!

Comment from pome lover
Oh, Aussie, that is so sad. It says family fiction, but with the picture and your story, I'm thinking it's true? your family? At any rate,
congratulations on winning the contest. You chose the 100 words well.
My best to you!
Katharine

Hello Katherine, No, not my family. They are all upstairs looking down and waiting for me. It was fiction. I have been on vacation, came home to find I had won the contest, Whoopee! Thanks for reading my friend. K xx
-
what a nice surprise!
Hope your vacation was fun.

It was only an overnight stay to see extended family. That was super. But, I have learnt a lesson; my manual wheelchair is hard work. I'm in a power chair at home. K xx
-
Well, I'm glad you are!

Just wrote another one. Strike while the irons are hot!
-
you go, girl!
-
Thank you Katharine! What is a 1000 milestone post?
-
Beats me. sorry . I don't know.
-
Hmm, must be for 1000 poems. :-)
-
It means I have written 1000 works on FS. Maybe just poems because I have been writing on the site for 13 years! Hugs XX

Hi Kay,
This is a wonderful poem of faith and patriotism. It shows that we do see our families again when we die. They are our welcoming party.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Congrats on winning the contest.
Have a great day.

Hello You. Thanks for reading. We all have to leave some time and they are not dead, merely sleeping and waiting for us. I've got my ticket - 88 I was told by a palm reader many years ago. Nothing to be afraid of, I had an NDE when I died on the OT. I was three months in hospital. He didn't want me, so I was sent back! You will have to put up with me a while longer! K xx
Comment from Bobby Jo
This is a great story that gives me chills. The spirit does speak, and the there are different dimmensons, a way to find them is to go on to where they are now, and leave this world behind.

Spirit doesn't communicate like we do. Simply put, it's head-to-head. I had an NDE and spoke to my Father, no spoken word because I was out of body. Look up on Google The Silver Cord. Thanks, K xx
Comment from LJbutterfly
This is a touching and comforting story. It is a consoling thought knowing our loved ones will be lovingly waiting to guide us to our eternal home. Your flash fiction story is well written and has a satisfying ending. Best wishes in the contest.

An excellent entry for the 100 Word Flash Fiction contest. This was bittersweet and lovely. Don't we all hope that one day we will go home in the exact same way, guided by the loved ones who went before us. Wishing you good luck in the contest.

Hi, Marilyn. Thanks so much for reading and yes, we will go home the same way. I had an NDE and met my family briefly. I was critically injured and lost my leg in a bike accident. Many moons ago. Love, K.
