I’ve heard that moms have this extra sense about their children, especially when their kids need help. It’s as if we’re still connected to them by an umbilical cord of sorts. So, what happens when mom radar is amped up?
Some months ago, one of my first premonitions involved my daughter. In my mind’s eye, I saw a full-color vivid image of her being hit in the stomach with a ball. I couldn’t tell if she had been hurt and I assumed it was an image of something happening at that moment. I knew she was playing kickball at after-care, so fully expected to hear about it when I arrived for pick-up. Nothing. Another day went by and nothing. Realized the vision was a foretelling, but had no idea when it would play out. No sign of danger so I wasn’t overly concerned.
About two weeks later, my daughter came home from soccer practice and told me she had been hit with the ball in the stomach. When she showed me how, it looked just the same as I had seen it in my mind. She wasn’t hurt.
The second time something like this happened - my daughter was at a small entertainment park celebrating her cousin’s birthday. I was getting ready to pick her up when I sensed something was happening with her. I saw her standing with other kids around her. I couldn’t tell if there was an altercation, but the feeling went away with no signs of apparent danger, so again tried not to worry too much. Shortly after, I texted my brother to say I was on the way to pick her up. My brother texted back to say they were heading to our house, so I turned around and went home.
I met them at our house, a little anxious to find out if anything had happened. The minute my daughter got out of the car, she complained about having to leave the park before she won this DSL she wanted from one of those games with the mechanical arm used to grab prizes. Apparently, she spent a good portion of her afternoon at this game and was upset that she didn’t win. Later, I realized that I had seen her standing at this arcade game and the reflection on the glass showed other kids standing around behind her.
Yesterday, it happened again. While my husband and daughter were out rollerblading together, I missed a call from them on my cell phone. I tried to call back several times but no answer. It wouldn’t be the first time I’d been called to come get my husband for one reason or another, so I kept trying to reach them. Then, I saw this vision of them rollerblading on the path and sensed something to do with running into a bike. Mom worry set in and I imagined one of them had collided with a bike and needed help. But, no signs of danger, just the normal nervousness any mom might feel if they thought something might have happened to their family.
Turns out a guy on a motorbike recognized my husband and pulled up onto the bike path to greet him. They had lived together 25 years ago in a town 1 hour south and had lost touch. My husband thought the biker was crazy for riding up onto the path, until he saw who it was – small world. He had called to tell me about his exciting reunion with an old friend. He did explain that if something urgent happened, he would have left a message. Of course, I was using extra sensory perception, not logic, so that thought never occurred to me.
Well, as “informed”, my daughter did get hit with a ball; she did experience some trouble at the game park; and she did “run into a bike.” Nothing out of the ordinary – just regular every day stuff. So, what’s a mom with a hyped up antenna to do?! After all, my daughter is only eight years old – we’ve got a LONG way to go!
My first thought was okay – she’s definitely getting her own cell phone when she’s old enough, so I can check in whenever I get a weird vibe. I’m going to drive her crazy!!
My next thought was okay – I need to get way better at this so I know what’s really going on. Now I have even more reason to be accurate!
Even considered honing our mental telepathy skills - maybe we could practice!!
And then my final and most practical thoughts were - have confidence that if a true emergency were to happen, I will know about it when I need to. Use all my senses, including the first five, to assess a situation. And like any mom, trust my gut, as complicated as that may be.
