Image Credit: Midjourney On March 30, 1996, I was carjacked by multiple carloads of a rival gang . I was beaten in the head with The Club (anti theft car device,) stabbed behind right ear, and back. I remember hearing gun shots, then all these guys jumped back in their cars (and mine!) and took off. I thought for sure I was going to be shot.

Then, Blanko came and helped me into the bar on 51st Trumbull. The paramedics came and at first were gonna take me to Holy Cross, until I moved my head and my scalp fell into my face.

In the ambulance, I kept wanting to sleep.

I looked up, and My Aunt Sissy was there. She took my hand and told me I wasn't going to die, I had to fight, I had a lot of good left to do. I remember laughing with her, cuz she had been dead for awhile then. I could hear the paramedics working on me asking each other who I was talking to.

At Mount Sinai I was admitted with closed skull fracture, damage to right kidney, 16 staples 13 stitches to my head and stitches in my back. Was it my Aunt, or was it a hallucination because of my head injury?

Idk, but I do KNOW that there have been a few times I KNEW things or dreamt things BEFORE it happened.

August 28, 2017 I was five months pregnant I was driving on I90 from Wisconsin to Chicago. I remember passing through tollway in Elgin.

Next thing I knew, I woke up. i was spinning, and it was pouring rain. I hot the 65 mph sign and saw that go flying over the car. I hit the grass, and felt relief for a second. Then, the car speeded up and I saw the wall coming towards me. I remember touching my stomach and thinking, "I am sorry little one I won't meet you," & the wall came at me.

I crashed into the brick wall. The whole front end was an accordion. The ONLY thing wrong with me was bruising from the seat belt and muscle sprains and strains. My son was born healthy on December 28, 2017.
