Julie and Andy Kemp were with their son, Landon, on the way home from church when their car was struck by an ambulance. Andy was immediately killed, and his son was airlifted to a North Carolina hospital in critical condition.

“I looked but never saw what he was yelling at. I didn’t spot the ambulance approaching us, but all I can recall is that he was yelling. That was the last thing that I heard from him,” Julie said, All That’s News reported.

Doctors had to resuscitate the boy on several occasions to keep him alive, though he eventually woke from a two-week coma with no brain damage. When he finally came to, Julie said she had a conversation with her son about his father.

“Yes, I know where he’s at. I saw him in heaven,” Landon replied. “I just want people to realize that Jesus is real, there is a heaven, there are angels. And to follow his word and the Bible and life does get better at the end.”
