Do you believe in a 6th sense?

I didnt...until December 5th 2004

I was sitting at home, preparing to go over to a friends house to watch football. It was supposed to take my mind off of my sick 4-year old Golden Retriever. She was in the hospital at the time.

As I reached for my jacket I stopped. I asked my mom to call the hospital...I wanted her to check up on Sandy. This was about 730pm. At this time, we had hope that our dog was going to pull through. But at 730pm...I looked at both of my parents and said "she's going to die". I tried to blame it on an emotional low...so I grabbed my stuff and I drove over to my friends house.

I got a sick feeling in my stomach midway through the football game...at about 10:45pm. I called my mother at 1130pm. I asked how Sandy was. She said "about the same...". I knew she was gone at that point. Again, I hoped I was wrong, and hopped into my car and drove home.

12am...I get home, and open the door. First thing that comes out of my mouth is "How is she?" And I looked and saw my parents sitting together. 'No no no no no no no' was all that was going through my mind.

"Mark...." my dad said, "...Sandy died tonight" I almost fell to the ground. I must have cried a bucket full of tears that night.

The next day...my mom told me what happened at the hospital. Sandy was having a bad reaction to her chemotherapy...and she had her first of 4 heart attacks at 7:30pm the previous night. My parents rushed over to vist her, to be with her before she passed away. She died at approximately 10:45pm.





Now if there was ONE thing in my life that I had absolutely unconditional love for...it was that dog. Was this all a coincidence? No...I can tell you with great certainty that it wasnt. I have no proof, other than a bunch of facts that could very well spell 'coincidence'....but everything inside me says it wasnt.
