2011, I was at the grand opening of a local Dick's Sporting Goods with my family. 

We were there for a good hour or so, and the whole time I noticed somebody following me and my children. Being a good mom I was very aware of this.
I knew who the person was, like I recognized them but I just couldn't figure out who they were. After a while this man didn't have any items at all, so I was skeptical of them. I walked around a corner and ended up inches from this person's face. I looked them dead in the eyes and they looked like they just saw a ghost, and immediately turned around and walked away at a fast pace. I didn't see them again, but I now knew who they were... 

It was my son. My 15 year old son... They looked like him just 15 or 20 years older. Same color hair, same color eyes, same facial features same scar on his chin same everything, he was even missing the same bottom tooth that he lost in hockey last year. I was dumbfounded. 

Was that my son from the future or was I just crazy. I felt a pit in my stomach. So I told my husband and kids that we were going to skip lunch and just eat at home.
