Todd Burpo, Colton Burpo's Dad, Wrote a Book About Colton and His Journey.
Colton was just a normal 3, almost 4, kid. Until he got very sick. The doctors told them that it was just the stomach flu, so they figured everything was alright. His older sister Cassi got sick as well. Todd and Sonja, Colton and Cassi's parents, had two sick children. Cassi got better in a day or two, but Colton was still sick. Colton's parents took him back to the doctor.
While they where at the doctor they found out that it wasn't just the stomach flu. That hospital couldn't do what they needed to do. So they sent him too a different hospital. A much better hospital. There they found out it was much more serious then they thought. While Colton was in operation he kind of died, but not really.
He went to heaven, then came back. God told Colton " I have to answer your dad's prayers ". His dad was prayed and prayed for his son to stay alive. So God brought him back to earth. He never spoke of it intell his mom ask him " Do you remember the hospital Colton? ". Colton said back " Yes that's where I met God. ". Then Todd and Sonja became very suspicious. They wondered if he really did go to heaven. Then they ask Colton other questions.
Then they realized, that there is no way in this world he couldn't have gone to heaven. Todd hadn't said talked to him about most of the stuff he was saying. Some stuff he didn't even know some of the stuff he said. Colton had said stuff about Todd's, Colton's dad, grandfather that had died about 20 years from then. Todd had never talked about his pop to Colton. He never talked about pop at all, so he couldn't have just heard Todd talking to Sonja about his grandfather, pop. He showed Colton a picture of pop, around the time that he died. Colton didn't recognize him. Then Todd showed Colton a picture of pop, in his mid 20s. Colton said, "yes that's pop. " then walked off. Todd didn't really know what to do, to ask for help, or to just believe him. TH
