This happened to my father when he was 20 years old, a few weeks after he was home from fighting World War II, he was driving alone in his car in Philadelphia.

He was driving down a one way street and was about to drive through a four way intersection where there were tall buildings blocking the view of the cars entering the 4 way intersection (at the 4 way intersection he was about to go through, his side of the road did not have a stop sign but the other 2 intersecting roads did have stop signs) when he heard a woman’s voice say, “Carl, stop” and since he had just finished being in the navy and was used to automatically following commands, he stopped right before going through the intersection. 2 seconds later an eighteen wheel tractor trailer went speeding through the crossing intersection because it blew through the stop sign in the crossing ntersection. If my father did not follow the command of the woman’s voice then he would have been T-boned by the eighteen wheel tractor trailer that blew through the stop sign and killed instantly. This woman's voice was his guardian angel.

He is now a great grandfather to 7 children, grandfather to 21 grandchildren, and father of 7 children.
