Hello, I had an experience about 6 years ago I have always pondered. Anyone have any ideas on this:

I had been caretaking for my sweet father about two years, living at his home, he was very near death. Not more than a week before he passed, one night a bright light woke me. When I opened my eyes I saw a very bright, sparkling orb shaped light, 12" or so, quite similar to a 4th of July sparkler but bigger and denser. There was no sound.

My eyes followed the silent light as it traveled along the corner of ceiling and wall until it was just gone. I pinched myself to make sure I was not dreaming.

I was surprised that I was not afraid. I actually felt calm and honored in a way.

Anyone?
