The Car Accident
“I was in a minor car accident. T-boned at an intersection. About 100m before I hit the intersection, I felt a hand on my shoulder and a male tell me to slow down (i was already a few kms under the speed limit – doing 55 in 60 zone) I was in the car with my then 3.5 yo daughter.”
“She was on the passenger side in the rear and would not have been able to touch me through her restraints. Other car hit me at high speed on the front passenger side.”
“If I’d been going any faster, my daughter would have taken the impact and not survived.”
“A few days later my very healthy and uninjured daughter was babbling in her bedroom, I went to check on her and she told me she was just talking to Grandpa K.”
“I asked where he was and she pointed to the corner of her room, I figured it was just her imagination and walked away.”
“About a week after that, she was at my mum’s house and said (not verbatim) “hey grandma, Sonny says to say he is sorry he left but he is looking after mum for you.” Grandpa K is my mum’s dad.”
“He died before I was born and mum never really mentioned him or her mum (also died before I was born) when I was growing up.”
“Grandpa K’s nickname was Sonny. I didn’t even know that until that moment.”
