It happened about 8 years ago. I remember being at a very low point in my life. Felt like everything bad that could happen, was happening and I felt so alone. I remember sitting in one of those minibus taxis I used to take to get home from work. In my mind I was having this conversation with god and I remember asking Him, Why me? I was so deep in thought I was totally unaware of my surroundings.

Then I felt a pressure on my right shoulder, felt like someone had placed their hand on my shoulder. I turned around thinking that maybe it was the person sitting behind me. Nope. I was looking at my shoulder, I could still feel the pressure but there was nothing there.

At this time I was starting to freak out a bit. I kept looking around thinking that maybe I could figure out why this was happening... then I looked out the window and I saw a lady in a red Toyota drive past. I was looking at the car when the car skidded and spun around facing the oncoming traffic. I remember the terrified look on the lady's face and I thought "Oh, God, we're going to crash into her" But oddly enough I wasn't scared. I felt like I was not 'involved'.The driver of the taxi I was in, swerved and hit the barrier, just missing the lady. The car behind us crashed into the taxi and into each other causing a pileup.. Strangely enough, nobody was injured, the worse was whiplash, Even stranger was that while all this was happening I could still feel that pressure on my shoulder right until I stepped out of that taxi and waited on the side of the road for another taxi to take me home.

I will never be able to explain what that pressure was on my shoulder, but to me it felt like the pressure of a hand and I like to think it was the hand of my guardian angel reassuring me, looking out for me and letting me know that he is beside me when I need him.
