Experience description:

I was standing in the kitchen with my husband at my side making flowers for my son's upcoming wedding. I was texting his fiancé and sending her pictures of the flowers. At 2237, I lost my balance, lost vision, scooted the stool under me and began to place my glasses on when I felt 'Sean is dead', I looked back at the flowers scattered on the floor and thought, 'This is a waste of time because Sean will not get to enjoy these'. My vision came back into focus on the phone and I completed my text at 2227. The phone rang at 2231 from the fiancé stating that Sean was hit by a car.

Sean was out for his bachelor party and had been playing ping pong with a group. He broke a paddle and felt bad. They crossed the street to a Wal-Mart to purchase another paddle not realizing it was a Neighborhood Wal-Mart and they only sold groceries. He and the group crossed back over the road and two of them were hit by a car. 911 was called at 2228. My experience was at 2227.

I hung up the phone and told my husband, unlike a normal response when your child has been hit by a car, 'Holy cow. I felt that. Toby, I felt that! I felt what just happened'.

I was about to tell him but the phone rang shortly after.

My son's best friend died in the ER within the hour. Neurology spoke with us in the ER about Sean, 'I cannot fix him'. When asked if my child was going to pass the neurologist stated, 'yes, you all have less than 48 hours'.
