“It was an experience I will long remember, for I believe my aunt reached out from the other world to save my life.”

I feel that what happened to me needs to be told. It proves to me that loved ones still live.

One day I was walking down Clark Street in Bellflower, CA at about 2 p.m. I was going home to practice my music for school. Just as I was about to cross the street, I suddenly felt something pull me back.

Of course I was startled, and I practically stumbled backward. I was shocked to see a car whiz around the corner. I could almost feel the force of it as it came within inches of me.

Once I was able to get across the street I heard someone say, “I’m here, Edith.”

I turned around quickly as no one had called me Edith since I was a little girl. When I looked, I was surprised to see my Aunt who had died years earlier. She smiled and waved, and then faded from view. This dear lady had raised me and was the only mother I had known.

As I continued on my way home, a lady said, “Gee, Miss, you must have a Guardian Angel!” “Oh,” I said, “I do!” It was an experience I will long remember, for I believe my aunt reached out from the other world to save my life.

“All she could say was, how did I know.”

Over the past few years, I’ve had several incidents in which my premonitions or hunches forewarned me.  One of them, in fact, possibly saved my life.

When my eldest daughter went off to study in London during her junior year, she would call me every day, at least during the first month she was there.  On the day when she hadn’t called, I had a feeling that she was sick.  When I called her, I heard myself blurting out, “How’s your stomach?  Is it any better?”  All she could say was, how did I know.

My brother is in the army and one day my arm started bothering me.  I had this burning sensation and it wouldn’t go away.  When I got home I immediately called him to ask if everything was OK.  When he replied that he just had seven stitches in his arm, I wasn’t the least bit surprised.

But the vision that I had last month was the one that perhaps saved me from a terrible accident.

I was riding my bike when it started to rain.  Although I am a cautious person by nature, I found myself going a little too fast around the corner on my way home.  Suddenly, I had the feeling that I had to get off the street – and immediately!

Without knowing why, and without seeing anything up ahead that was in my path, I swerved my bike up onto a nearby sidewalk.  Then I applied my brakes and came to a complete stop.  It was raining harder now and I felt a little stupid standing there doing nothing but getting soaked.

It was then that a car in a driveway just down the street where I was headed bolted out onto the street in reverse.  The driver, a young man with no sensibilities whatsoever, could have possibly run me over had I not had that premonition.

My knees were shaking very badly as his car raced by.  He had no idea how close he came to running me over.
