Eerie Gut Feelings That Ended Up Saving People’s Lives

It All Ended Up Okay

My gut feeling saved my father’s life. When I was 12 years old, he called to say “goodbye” and said that he would “see my sister and me when we were much older.”

I quickly ran over to the neighbor’s house, bawling and not understanding what was going on, but knowing my father needed help NOW.

Fortunately, my paramedic uncle and his partner managed to locate my ODing father, and they were able to pump his stomach on the way to the hospital.

I’ve never really doubted my gut since. That experience was traumatic enough that I now always trust my gut whenever it kicks up.

God bless booze for allowing me to trudge through the darkest of memories and come out okay.
