In November of 1956, while touring, Elvis would dutifully call Gladys every night. The two had an extremely close connection. One night, Elvis and his band were driving to a new town when their car caught fire. When Elvis called Gladys that night, she immediately said, "what happened?"

"What do you mean?" Elvis asked.

I had a dream and I saw a fire, a big fire around you," She said hysterically. Elvis couldn't hardly believe the story when she told him.

In 1958, Elvis was drafted into the Army he wasn't allowed to phone Gladys for his first two weeks In the service, and when he finally did call her, the two spent an hour crying together on the phone.

Elvis had a premonition on the night she died, when he became agitated and convinced that something was wrong. Gladys had a heart attack on August 14th, 1958. Elvis entered a prolonged period of intense grief from which he never fully recovered.

"Shes all I ever lived for. She was always my best girl," he cried.
Elvis made sure Gladys favourite band, the blackwood brothers, played at her funeral. Before she was buried, he gave  her a last kiss, and in tears said, "mother, I would give every dime I have and every dig ditches just to have you back."

Let me know what you guys think!!
