Back in about May of 2011, I was 45 then, I had been looking for a job. I would go to my parents' house (my mother had passed in January of 2010) to use the computer. On the desk was a photo of my youngest brother who had passed at 16 in 1996. I had seen this photo many times sitting there and never gave it a thought.
For some reason on this particular day, I sat back in the desk chair to relax and began to stare at the photo of my deceased brother. I had this overwhelming feeling that I was going to lose my youngest son. Although he was healthy (unlike my brother, who died of cancer) the feeling brought me to tears. I said to myself, "Stop it, that's not going to happen!"
This happened several more times, I even called my friend and told her about what had been happening. She tried to calm me down and reassure me that it would be fine. But I continued to sob most of the way home from my parents' house that day.
I went back to work in July for a company that I had worked for five years earlier, and one of the first things that crossed my mind as I was setting up my desk was if something does happen to my son at least I am with people who know me.
On September the 25th 2011 my son, who was 26 at the time, was involved in a one vehicle accident and was killed. He was living with myself and my husband at that time. I asked him several times that evening not to go out. I knew that he was extremely tired and had a history of dozing off when driving … that's what happened.
I even knew something had happened that night, because I woke up about the time of the accident and felt a strong urge to go in his room to check on him, but I had to remind myself twice that he was with his friend.
Needless to say at about 6 a.m. we had two state troopers come to our door to tell us that he had been in a fatal accident.
This is not the first time something like this has happened to me, but it was without a doubt the strongest premonition I've ever had on a continuous basis.
