Experience description:  

On Friday morning May 18th of 1997, I spoke with my dad on the phone. The last thing I recall him stating was, Well son, I ain't dead yet! His voice was strong as usual. However, through the rest of that day and then into the (Memorial Day) weekend I had an overwhelming sense or knowing that something big was going to happen during this weekend. I did not know whether this something was local, personal, regional or geopolitical. Now at this time I was courting my fianc Sandy. She to had the same overwhelming sensation! Well, Sunday night after evening services, Sandy and I were out front of her place talking. It was approaching midnight. Suddenly I sensed an unseen visitor present. I intuitively knew that it was dad! I said, Dad this is Sandy, She will become my wife soon and your daughter in law. Dad seemingly, winked at me saying that's my boy! No sooner did dad arrive from the southeast (he resided in Ruskin, Florida at the time) that he departed northwest and headed towards Denver, Colorado to see my oldest brother Jack. 

When I arrived home about an hour later, I checked my phone messages. My youngest brother Rick stated. Ed if you want to see dad alive one last time you better get on a plane and get here within the hour.
