What happened to Jay nearly seven years ago literally left him dead. Through the grace of God and the quick response and knowledge of medical personnel he survived it, but not before having some of the most vivid dreams that would haunt him for many years to come. There have been several stories of late that tell of near death experiences and life after death. "The Event" is the story of one man's journey to find the answers to life, death, and his dreams. Along the way, Jay learns what it truly means to be a husband, a father, a son, and a friend. In the end he is given a gift more precious than gold, a gift that he carries with him for the rest of his life. His story can sometimes be confusing, sometimes comical, but it is always real. Imagination and fiction make up more than three quarters of our real life. Simone Weil
