The Little Boy at The Christmas Store

I am often asked if I always knew I could talk to the other side. There were very memorable incidents that happened when I was young but I didn't think much of it. Not to mention my childhood was, lets just say, a little crazy.
I was about 30 when I started to have things happen more often and I just couldn't shrug it off to coincidence anymore. What really sent me full force into my journey was the incident that happened shortly before Christmas about 5 years ago. My husband and I were getting ready that morning trying to decide what we were going to do with our day just hang out or go buy a Christmas tree. We decided to finish getting ready and just see what we felt like doing.
I was putting on my makeup when I started to have a "daydream". It was of a Christmas store. Inside the store right in the front area by the door was a little boy, about 4 years old, he was blonde and had that cute little boy haircut. So I thought to myself , because I am a mom of 5 kids myself, where is his mom? Instantly I saw that she was in the back of the store talking with an employee about the trees. My vision goes back to the front of the store and now a see this creepy man watching the little boy who was knelt down right by the front door playing with one of the displays. Next I see the man take the boy then get into his SUV parked right in front of the stores' door and try to back up. A red pickup was passing behind him so the creepy guy had to wait for a second. I notice the license plate is unique but it happens so fast I can't make it out. Now all of a sudden I hear in my right ear "Get there before 1:11!" it took me a second to snap back to reality and now I am unnerved. At that moment My husband comes in and wants to know if I have decided what we want to do for the day. Hmm... looks like we are going Christmas tree shopping I tell him.
My husband notices I am unnerved and of course he asked me why. So I am thinking to myself do I tell him or try to play it off. Well I am not very good at playing things off and he is really good at knowing when I am trying to play it off. So I risk him thinking I am crazy and tell him everything I just "daydreamed" and I tell him we need to hurry because we have to get there before 1:11.
We get to the store and it is like 1:05. We walk in and everything is exactly like I saw it in my "daydream". The boy is right there , he is the only kid in the whole store, the mom is nowhere to be seen, the creepy guy is there and I am about to burst out of my skin!!
My husband and I block the creepy guy he gets on one side and me on the other. The guy looked at me and I gave him a disgusted look within a few minutes he leaves. And the whole scene unfolds in front of me he backs up his license plate is unique it had a name on it, the red pick up drives by behind him I turn around and the mom is now finally making her way up from the back of the store. I look at my watch and it is 1:11. I didn't know what to think and I was speechless. My husband ,being the guy he is was like "So should we look at trees now?" Um ok?!
