There are only two ways to
live your life. One is as
though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though
everything is a miracle.

---Albert Einstein
After his release from hospital, Bill came to our small North Hollywood apartment for dinner. But he and
Mary had a disagreement shortly after and we didn't see him again until he fell ill about eight months
later. He was back in the hospital, but this time it was very serious. When we went to see him, he was in
intensive care. He had a breathing tube in his throat and, although conscious, was unable to speak or
otherwise communicate.

Before we left the room I leaned over to him, looked in his eyes and said, 'We'll be back.' He was clearly
distressed, which I put down to his physical condition. He died that evening before we could visit him
again.

A couple of days later, Mary and I went to his small apartment in Burbank to box up his few possessions.
We were there for an hour or so, had loaded the car and were just preparing to leave when I had to use
the bathroom. As soon as I went in the room, I felt a strong presence. The air seemed suffused with
brightness and my skin began to feel prickly. I left the bathroom and closed the door behind me.

At that moment, the energy presence I had felt in the bathroom became very intense and I was frozen to
the spot. Suddenly, I felt a hand on the back of my neck pushing my head down. My attention was
instantly riveted to a small, otherwise unnoticeable drawer near the floor. I knelt down and opened the
drawer. In it was a lone object; a passbook for a bank account containing Bill's life savings with Mary as
a co-signatory. Since he had not made a will and had not told us about the bankbook, it seems he
wanted to be absolutely sure that she received the money.

I had never had any prior thoughts about the existence of a life after physical death, but this was very
convincing. Bill not only clearly still existed, but he was able to have an effect on me in order that his
intent to help his child could be fulfilled. It was an extraordinary, undeniable and profoundly affecting
experience.

I was living in Los Angeles in 1982 with my
girlfriend, Mary, when she took me to meet her
seventy-two-year-old father for the first time. Her
dad, Bill, a life long heavy smoker, was in the
hospital due to complications from emphysema.
Bill and I instantly got along with each other.
Mary's dad later told her that he liked me, and
she said that I was the only boyfriend he had met
who he had immediately taken to. I was pleased.
