It was just something weird. Something reached and said, this is it. She's going. And I reached over the bed and I looked at my mom. Her eyes all of a sudden opened up and she looked right at me. And even though her brain had been compromised and wasn't working, her body was nothing anymore. And she was a beautiful woman. She worked for Playboy. She was a beautiful lady, at one time a model.

Her body resembled nothing of what she did. She looked at me, and she passed. But we communicated. And I knew there was something else at that moment more to a human being, more than just a body, more than just a brain. There is something that is beyond the physical and even intellectual part of what it means to be human. And I felt it. And everybody in the room felt it. It was undeniable.

You can call it a soul, an id, a cheat, whatever. You can put a label on it. I don't know what it's called. I don't know what it is. But I do know that was the essence of my mother. And the moment she passed, it was this weird feeling because... As my mother laid there dead in the bed, it wasn't my mother anymore. That essence, whatever made my mother my mother...

And you could see the light in her eyes. It was like someone turning off the light switch. And I've been around death a lot. It's a terrible, horrible thing, especially in warfare. But this was something visceral. This was something far more intimate. This cut to my soul. And I could recognize it. And she recognized me and I recognized her, even though that the brain functions were gone.

So I guess my point is... I absolutely believe there's something more to the human experience than simply a tangible body and a brain. And I witnessed this firsthand. Now, people can say all sorts of stuff they want. I don't care. I've got enough haters out there anyways. If they want to think that I'm trying to – hope that my mother has a soul and she goes somewhere.

I'm just telling you what I experienced and other people experience too. And it was, it was proof for me at that moment that there's much more to, to us as, as, as human beings.

And it's not like you're trying to override this acknowledgement that they're dead. You know they're dead. It's just that whatever made that person that person, it's not in the body anymore. It's gone.
