Today I was the passenger in a car with my sister when we had a "premonition" moment.
I don't really mean that we saw the future, but we saw the following events unfold in slow motion and knew exactly what was going to happen. From the first sign of the white ball bouncing down the lawn toward the road, to the two girls dressed in various shades of pink racing after it, to the panic stricken father racing against time to get to his daughters before they reached the road.
We saw what was coming and had stopped several yards away. There was no immediate danger to the kids, but they girls and the dad had no idea and the panic on the father's face was heart breaking and heartwarming at the same time. When he got to his kids just before the grass ended, the reunion, relief and reassurance of safety was almost tangible. He embraced his girls and right there had a chat with them; I'm sure about road safety.
Love and desperation in its truest form. Beautiful, terrifying and rare.
