| Back in early 1983 I kept getting a feeling that I had to go visit
my father in Ft Lauderdale. In fact, I told my wife that if I was ever
to see him alive I needed to go immediately. At that time my dad was
in excellent health and I had nothing to base my feelings on.
When I called the airline the fare to Florida was more than I could
come up with, and I became quite depressed because I could not shake
the feeling of need to go see him. Then two weeks later they had a $99
one way fare and I got a ticket.
Four days after I arrived dad had a stroke that killed him within a
week. If I hadn't gone when I did I would not have seen him alive.
Can anyone explain what happened? I can't.

| I certainly can't explain it. But I did experience some strange
feelings just 2 days prior to my father's death. I was visiting my
parents one Sunday afternoon. I was talking to my mother when my
father came into the room. He started to talk about something in the
middle of my mother's conversation. For some reason I had this feeling
that I really wanted to 'listen' to him. I had the realization that I
usually didn't pay close attention to what he says so this time I'm
going to really listen. And for some reason that day he looked really
old to me, something I never noticed before. It was just the way the
sunlight was reflecting off his face. He was 67 when he passed away.
Other members in my family had strange feelings the day of his
unexpected death. My sister who lives a few towns away was dropping
her son off to school. She had this warm memory of my father's car
and how it smelled when my father used to drop her off at school.
Another sister recalls the morning my father dropped her off to work...
how when she said good-bye to him it somehow felt stranger than the other
mornings when she said good-bye. This time it felt like it was going
to be the last time. Another sister who lives in Arizona was coming
home that evening and had this strange feeling that her husband was
going to tell her some very bad news. One of my brothers recalls
the morning he was talking to my father. We had had a big snowstorm
the night before and they were talking about the cars needed to be
moved because someone was coming to plow that morning. When my
brother headed for his apartment he had this strong feeling that he
should go back and talk to my father some more, as though my father
still wanted to talk to him. But instead he just shrugged off that
feeling and headed for his apartment. That afternoon my father had
a heart attack while driving.
I don't know what messages we all were receiving and how we were
receiving them, but somehow we were getting a message that something
was about to happen. And it wasn't like my father was ill. He had a
bi-pass operation in 1976 and ever since that time was in great health.
It certainly was a shock for everyone for him to die so suddenly.
I wonder if there is a solid explanation for these experiences. Maybe
we will only know the true answer when it is our time to die!

| 2 Experiences of mine...
When I was in junior high traveling home with Mom and step Dad I had
the thought of getting into an accident on the way home.. Sure enough
Someone taking a turn on a dark rainy evening hit us head on...
The second time was about 2 or 3 years ago, my boyfriend and I were
leaving his relatives house. Prior to leaving they were talking about
how many cars they had wrecked. I said to myself, were going to get
in an accident now. Sure enough right on the on ramp. He lost control
by going to fast around the ben... (IROC)... we did 2, 360 turns.
It wasnt so much of a feeling of these incidents it was just a
thought that had popped into my mind. I wasnt even affraid. I didnt
actually think it would happen....
I cant explain it.... It would be interesting to experience these
things more often.. Atleast pay attention to them, that way you can
actually avoid or stop bad things from happening...
{yes}....{no}
Tell me what you think...

| I always get scared to think out the bad thoughts (re: .4) because I
think we can control things around us.
On another note I have had quite a few dreams about someone dying and
the next morning, I have found out that someone close to me has died.
The last one was particularly interesting, as it was my friend's
brother. He asked me to keep being his sister's friend. Usually the
dreams don't pinpoint the person.
Just the other night I dreamed that my pregnant friend had back pain -
I decided it was back labor - but upon calling her, she mentioned in
conversation that her back was really painful. Her lower back.
Are any of you good card players? I seem to know what cards are going
to be played, when I get on an ESP roll!
