I've had a few in the early 1970's another in the 80's, none since.
1974 I was working the line at GM having babysitter problems for kids so I let them visit their father and his wife in Jax,Fl. for 2 weeks, Ages, daughters were 5,3 and son 2.
Son had a mild cold when they left Atlanta for Jacksonville.
I was out with two of my friends, 'one since childhood' at a club waiting for my cousin across the street to get off work. Both worked for Delta Airlines.
I heard one of my kids cry, 'Momma', I jumped up screamed, "something is wrong with one my kids".
I ran past several phones to my cousin across the street, she said ," Marie call your momma son is in hospital in bad shape".I didn't call anyone, I was right there at the airport, so I ran across the street to a Ligour store to cash my GM check. He said I don't cash checks, I told him he has to, I have to get a plane ticket to my son, He saw I was in bad shape and cashed check.
I then flag cab to airport terminal ran in and plane to jax in now boarding. Run up up agent tell them I have to get on that plane NOW, she said,' no tickets left, man in front of me just bought last ticket, by now I'm hysterical and telling agent I have to get to my son ,the man said " let her have my ticket, I snatched the ticket and ran to the plane.
At Jax airport I flagged a taxi, told him get me to Orange Park , he kept saying he couldn't drive faster I threw money over seat and screamed I'll pay for the ticket, he said,' it was dangerous to drive that fast', I thought it was taking forever but actually I made record time to getting to that hospital.
Doctors said my son had died at the rime I heard him calling me, [ THANK GOODNESS HE DIDN'T and now is a 54 year old healthy senior].
Although I didn't know which kid it was, I knew one of my kids were in serious trouble. At hospital son was in oxygen tent and still on life support. I didn't leave his sight for days and made sure my other kids were there with us at hospital.
I know there is a spirit world right here in earth.
