#13 When A Mother Knows, She Knows
I got a duty call from a worried mom one Saturday afternoon. She hadn’t heard from her 18-year old daughter in a few days and wanted someone to check on her. Sure, I said. I went over to her dorm and knocked on her door. She was in there, just studying. She promised to call her mom as soon as she could. She had been busy all week.
The next day, the student passed away. She got very sick, called a friend, went to the hospital, and was lifeless in a matter of hours. I wasn’t the last person to see her alive, but I might have been the last to see her healthy. Years later, I can’t shake the feeling that her mom had some sort of premonition. It was absolutely heartbreaking.
