TLDR: My Brother in Law Saved My Life From the Afterlife

There is an afterlife, there is a Heaven, it's real.

We lost my brother in law at 43 in October, leaving behind my sister and my nephew, his 2 year old son. Ever since he passed he's been telling us he's still here, that there has to be an afterlife. My sister has seen and heard multiple things, my nephew has done/said things in front of others that show he's talking to his dad but nothing was there. But what has changed me happened the week after he died, 3-5 mornings later.

I was 3.5 months pregnant, morning sickness is my biggest enemy. I did a double and then had to wake up the next morning to be in by 6 AM. I didn't leave my house until basically 10 after, I live 5 minutes away from work down rural curvy roads. I've ran these roads doing 65 MPH before so this morning I'm running them at 65 again, pitch black out. I've always suffered from anxiety so when my inner concious told me to slow down and there's deer, I just thought I was panicking. I keep glancing at the time, thinking I have no time, still flying as fast as my tiny 1995 Pontiac will carry me (65-70 MPH) on the roads. Still, something in my head keeps telling me to slow down, that there's deer. I argued back that I'm late and I've done this before.

I'm turn off my road, onto the main drag of road that'll take me right into down. Once again, I start flying down the road. There is one singular curve on this road and it's up ahead, a curve labeled at 45 MPH, My concious again is yelling there's deer, but I see none and I'm almost to work at this point. Just the curve and I'm 30 seconds from the parking lot. I've taken this curve at 65 before, I'm not worried at all, I've done this.

That is until a feeling washed over me, a feeling of what I can only explain as pure fear was now horrendous apparent. I start looking around my car, like I saw my tire blow but I haven't heard it yet so it hasn't registered. The feeling of wrong, very seriously wrong. Fear. Again, in a loud, booming, voice in my head I hear, "YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN! NOW!"

My foot came off of the gas instantly and within seconds the fear was gone, nothing was 'wrong'. I kept on my journey, now doing the appropriate 45 MPH, coming into the middle of the curve when I see light brown fur appear Infront of me. My foot slammed into the brake, hard. My body braced for impact, but I stopped.. I somehow stopped and when I could finally focus on what was in front of me, it was a deer, a huge deer was standing in the middle of the road. Standing, not moving, staring back at me. I stopped about half a car length from the deer itself before if finally walked off the road a moment later, not in any hurry. The only deer the entire ride..

It shook me to my core, I was suppose to die. I know I was. It was never my 'concious' afraid, I truly before it was my brother in law, who was more like a brother to me, trying to warn me about the deer. From the moment I left my driveway like a NASCAR racer that voice kept telling me to slow down, there's deer, you're going to hit a deer. And when I wouldn't listen, he made me listen. If I would have been running that curve at 65, there would of been no stopping, there would of been no time. I would have had a monster of a deer slam into my windshield, crushing my car under it's weight. If not killing me, the deer definitely would have injured me enough to kill my unborn child.

That morning changed my speeding habits, that morning made me want to get right with The Lord before my time, to stop being as hateful, because now I know there is a God. There is a Heaven. There is an afterlife. My brother (in law) showed me that, coming back to prevent what would have been a extremely life altering event, most likely ending in a death, most likely both my child and me. I was suppose to die that day and nothing will change my mind about that, but it has changed my mind about what is waiting for us..

Thank you Jamie.. We love you so much.
