Yeah ... we lost a son at six months, which was a blow.
We then had twins.
In 2000 I was making daily visits to a dying uncle, picking up my aunt and driving her to the hospital after work. He passed at 4am on a Friday morning. That evening I drove round to visit my aunt, London traffic, pouring rain, me rehearsing my 'well at least we won't have to go to that awful hospital' speech. She opened the door and told me I had to get home ASAP – my daughter had been hit by a car.
Turns out hospital had phoned home (Daughter had ID) and said, "Nothing to worry about ..." So as mum couldn't get a babysitter for our youngest, xpecting to see a bump or a bruise she took youngest daughter with her to the hospital – to be shown into a full-on A&E trauma scene like you see on TV – medicos rushing around, a nurse cutting her clothes of, neck in a brace, daughter semi-conscious, face covered in blood ...
Mum and 10-year-old daughter go into shock ...
It was close, but she was OK. Broken leg, fractured elbow, various cuts, no scars ... the rest was just what someone looks like when they've been hit by a car and laid out in the road in the pouring rain I arrived and mum took daughter home to settle her ... I spent the night lying alongside her on the bed, nearest I could get to cuddle a frightened 14-year-old in a neck-brace and swathed in an ankle-to-hip plaster cast. Saturday morning mum came in, kids at a friend's house, I went home.
I can clearly remember standing in the kitchen, sort of paralysed. Obviously in shock. I really couldn't move, even though I had a list of things in my head to do ... I just stood there. Then I said, "That's it, I'm done. I can't do this any more. You do it."
So He stepped in ...

I know all this can be explained, indeed it's obvious – a psycho-drama, shock, stress, etc., etc. But then, we're human, so any divine-human interaction is gonna have a 'logical' element, unless we're talking about bilocation or something ... but the fact that it can be explained naturally does not thereby rule out the supernatural. So one makes one's choices.
