Jen, all things are possible with God, remember?  It is very possible that
your father turned to God seconds before his death, or maybe as it was
happening.  I don't remember if he was killed on impact or if there was
perhaps a brief time in which he was perhaps unconscious as he was
dying.  But God is so great and so unlimited that anything is possible.  Of
course there's no way of knowing if the little one's words were from a true
vision or a child's imagination.  But perhaps you can use it to remind you
of just how big and unlimited and merciful and compassionate our God is.

Hugs,

Peggy
