Young Zola Tomic asked her mother Brittani before going to gymnastics one day, “When can I see God again?” because they hadn’t been talking about God at the time.
The six-year-old girl needed him, but he was there for her. Tomic Zola had a routine procedure to have her tonsils removed. Everything was fine until she walked into her mother’s bedroom bleeding heavily.
The little girl had been bleeding for more than ten days. Then God was about to die, and Zola saw it. The family was kept in the dark about the experience up until the moment she uttered the breath-taking words, “When can I see God again?”.
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), a rare disease that Zola had, was unknown to her family until the tragic event. Zola’s mother claimed that the pregnancy was considered to be high risk. The specialists believed it to be a coincidence since the markers did not correspond to trisomy 18 or down syndrome.
As a result of numerous health issues throughout her childhood, the doctors found that Zola’s tonsils were excessively large and may have affected her ability to breathe. Following this information, the parents made the decision to have the procedure because they thought it would be the solution to all of their issues.
After her close call with death, Zola began discussing her miraculous moment more candidly. On the eve of her impending death, God had thanked Zola for becoming his friend. Brittani clarifies that while she was in the hospital, she never lost consciousness.
This young girl had experienced God as a solace. The terrifying health event that affected Zola caused the family’s Christian beliefs to drastically change. In order to spread awareness of the girl’s condition, the family later founded a non-profit organization.
