\"Mr. Sarlo decided it was worth one more try. He drank again. Very quickly, he saw a forest covered with snow. "There were dead bodies all over the place," he said. "There was one skeleton sticking out of the snow. And somehow I knew that was my father.\
\
"I don't know exactly how we communicated because I didn't see anyone alive but I heard his voice. He came to me and I asked him a very important question, which was: 'why didn't you say goodbye?' He said, he thought he could get out of it, and be back the same day, so why wake up little George?\
\
"I asked a second question: 'Did you love me?' He pointed at the skeleton sticking out of the snow." The skeleton's mouth hung open. "He said: look at me. That's my last breath. And with my last breath, I blessed you and I promised to guard you all your life."\
\
Mr. Sarlo said that afterward, something shifted. He realized that his life had been "absolutely full of miracles," he said. "It changed my life completely."\"
