I am not sure if this is what you mean, but in summer of 2002, scenes from my life started popping into my head, things I had totally forgotten about. This went on for two days, and I realized my life must be flashing before my eyes. I have always associated this with people drowning, and being a Gulf swimmer, I became afraid and practically stopped swimming. In November 2002, I witnessed a man drowning; I called 911 twice,once in the beginning, and about 20 minutes later; I was 15 stories up watching and could see what the rescuers on shore could not see because the surf was high and rough-his face was in the water and he was not breathing. I think my life flashing before me was a premonition of this man's death. And I have not been able to recall any of those memories that were so clear that day. I was very traumatized by this until I found out he was in town for a funeral, his mother died during the funeral, and I believe it was the next day when he drowned. He swam out trying to save 4 others caught in a riptide and he was the only one they could not save. It was just his time. <img src="/images/graemlins/angel.gif" alt="" />

What a harrowing thing to watch & how helpless you must have felt. However I think your analysis sounds right, it sounds like this brave man had made a sacred contract to try to save those other lives in return for his own. How poignant to have joined his mother so soon.

I suppose i mean many things and it is rather poignant that he should leave soon after his mother.

I guess I was more aiming towards the past events happening over again, well kinda different.

then again, i can't tell if it was my past or someone elses...
