By the time Ben Breedlove’s parents discovered the videos last Monday, the YouTube recordings of their 18-year-old son talking about his impending death had already gone viral. Read the rest of Ben’s story in People. Ben passed away on Christmas Day.
We’ve heard about people who have had near-death experiences and what they saw or felt. Do you know of anyone who likewise had a similar experience?

I read that in NBC’s report they cut if off at the part when he asked: “Do you believe in angels and God? I do.”
I hope to meet him in a few centuries. It would be hard to believe that smile won’t be in the next life.
Wow, how touching, both sweet and sad. I love his smile. Thanks, LL.
Too young.
May he be blessed, granted eternal rest, and gaze upon the beatific vision of our Lord….
RIP
