Life Saving Voice

It all started when I was a little girl. I was about the age of 8 years old when this life changing experience occurred. My mother had always been somewhat sickly and with a low immunity to illnesses. One summer day in 1967 I was home alone with my mother. I was quite young and cannot even remember where my older siblings were but they were not at home on this day and my father was at work. My mother sent me out to play and so I took off on my stingray bicycle and rode over to my best friends house which was 2 houses down from mine. We were riding our bikes and we got to the corner of the street; where we always turned around and rode back the other way, because we were not allowed to leave our street. I was closest to the curb and as I rested my foot on the curb to maneuver my bike around I heard a mans voice in my head. This voice literally commanded me (as a parent would a child) in 3 simple words, very loudly and insistently, the voice said using my name "... Go Home!" I was a bit startled by this and turned to my best friend and asked her if she had heard it. She said she had not heard it and instinctively I knew this was a big deal and I needed an adult. I told her rather frantically that we needed to get her mother. We rode our bikes back to my best friend's

House and ran in to the kitchen where her mother was seated at the table and I told her mother what had happened. She did not question me or anything. That sweet woman recognized my need for help and she went with us to my house. We went into my parents house and went back to my parents bedroom and my mother was on the floor next to the bed having a horrible reaction to some medication. My friends mother called my father and an ambulance and my mother was taken to the hospital where she was treated and taken care of. Ever since this occurred I have had periodically through my life had unexplainable things happen. I just wondered if this experience had anything to do with the other occurrences. My mothers father (my maternal grandfather) had passed away about 6 months before this experience and I have always felt that the voice was his. I consider this experience a gift to me because I am fully aware that someone is always watching and if it is not your time to go then you probably won't because an intervention from a disembodied voice may intervene.
