The 28th of April 2006 started out like any other day for me, gather up my 3 yr old son pack him into the car and head from laramie to rock river a 40 mile drive to the baby sitters and then on to work at 5:00 am. about half way there the cars battery light came on then the engine began to shudder as if all the spark plugs had been pulled out and then the check engine light came on. I pulled to the side of the road and popped the hood of the car to see what if anything was wrong. I could see nothing wrong so I decided to walk to the nearest house and use the phone to call some one to come get me. as I reached inside to pick up my son the car came back to life as if nothing had happened, so I jumped in and poceeded to drive the rest of the way to the sitters and work with no problems from my car. About 4 miles out of Rock River I saw headlights bouncing across the median so I slammed on the brakes missing the semi by a few yards as he stopped on my side of the road completely blocking both lanes of oncoming traffic. I jumped out and pounded on the door of the cab to see if the driver was alright but no one answered so I flew into town to the sitters (who is an E.M.T.) and told her what just happened. We called the police and for ten minutes they asked for all the details. I then proceeded towork.

The drivers story, he said he remembers driving thru Rock River and was becoming drowsy as he neared the park in the center of town he rolled down his windows to keep kim awake as he passed the park he saw a woman waving her arms and yelling "don't hit my baby Please don't hit my baby!" he said he should have stopped but was running late so decided to carry on. he remembers seeing a car in front of his truck and a man driving and a little boy in the car seat in back the next thing he remembered is the emt's and sherriff pounding on his door and he was asking did I kill them are they alright? the sitter (one of the emt's stated that my son and I were fine and that we were the ones who had called for help. the sitter and the sherriff both asked the driver if he could describe the woman so he proceeded to tell them that she had long dark hair was wearing a black stripped sweater with dark blue jeans he descibed her face to them, both the sherriff and the sitter looked at each other in total disbelief as he had described my wife who had passed away 2 years earlier to the day and that the clothes she was wearing the day she died. they came and told me later that morning and the whole town was soon abuzz with the miracle of my and my sons brush with death. I believe that my wife came back to save us from a certain death had she not caused my car to stall when she did. She trully is an angel as she always said that if she went before me she would make sure that my son and I would never be harmed untill it was our time to go.
