First I want to thank you for taking effort to read this page. I will tell you what happend, but first I want to tell you something about myself.   

I am just a somewhat normal boy(man). I live in the Netherlands and I am 17 yeards old. I am in college and do just normal things like playing basketball etc.  

It all started about a week before Mother Teresa died. It was Monday and I was watching the news. It was about the late Princess Diana. Suddenly at one moment I saw a short piece of film of Diana with Mother Teresa. I don't know what hits me really, but I just felt real strange. First of all I was under the impression that she was already dead, or so it felt. But then when I asked my moter she said that Mother Teresa was still alive.  

After that I just didn't think about it. But almost everyday after that I thought about Mother Teresa. I didn't know anything about her, but I was just to busy doing other thing to go research her life and I felt it was not really significant at that time.   

On friday the day that Mother Teresa died, I went after school to the hairdresser. I went there about 4:55 in the afternoon and I returned home at 6:18 in the afternoon. I had to wait a lot and I was thinking about a lot of things. Then somewhere between this period, I don't know exactly when because then it was not so significant. I thought about Mother Teresa again, but this time it was different. I don't really no how to put the feeling into words, but it felt like she was dead. Not horrible but more like it was time and she was suppose to die .It felt like it was ment for her to die even sooner, but she hadn't.   

Anyway, after I felt that the hairdressor came to me and went doing my hair and I forgot about it.  

I went home and after that I went to an appointment. My mother brought me with the car. We left at about 7:30 and we returned at about 9 O'clock. On the way home at about 8:50 I heared on the news that Mother Teresa died.  

Then another strange feeling came over me. I wasn't surprised or shocked about her death. I was actually surprised that others where shocked that she had died. I felt like it was sort of old news. When I heared it I shouted out to my mother that I had new that she died. My mother didn't really commented to this and I just let it be.  

After that I watched CNN and I went searching for the time when she died because I wanted to know if there was a connection. It wasn't untill saterday morning when I read the newspaper that I knew that she died aroung 6 O'clock Dutch Time(which is 5 O'clock GMT). This time is in the period when I went to the hairdressor so it is to me very likely that I thought of her when she died. I cannot verify this because I don't remember when exactly I thought of her.  

I would like to know what you think. I know a lot of you probably would say this is a lot of crap, and believe me I would have thought it myself if this would have happend to someone I didn't know, but I just know it happend and it feels a lot better now I know I can share this with people.  

Thanks
