Thank you for sharing it.<br /><br />Unseen and powerful forces make up what we call this life - the greatest invisible miracle is love itself.

I, too, had ...Your writing is visceral and moving. I, too, had an angelic intervention nine years ago when I totalled my car. I was in the far left lane in a three lane highway that abruptly merged into a two lane. I could tell the motorist next to me did not see me in his blind spot as his car began to edge over into my car! I quickly assessed the situation, making note of the motorist's blonde little girl in the backseat of his car, her face pressed into the window. "Make a choice," I thought. Try to save yourself or let his car edge you off the road. I couldn't move forward since there was a car ahead that was already too close for comfort. There was nowhere for me to go but an imbankment with a huge metal barrier. It all happened fast, but it also happened in the same slow-motion you described. "I'm likely to die right now," I thought and accepted this fact well enough to let go. My car crashed into the metal barrier and through it, then flipped twice down a hill. When I woke up, against all odds, my car was so completely totalled I had to be pried out of it with the jaws of life. I sustained a mild concussion, bruises and abrasions and muscle aches. But that was it. A few days later, I went to a wreckage site to see if any of the belongings I had in the trunk or back seat had made it through as I had. The passenger door had been pried open and much to my surprise I saw a gift my angel left behind. I remembered I'd been driving around with a Christmas ornament, meaning to buy glue to fix the opalescent glass flower that encased a beautiful angel. It had been in the backseat, wrapped in bubble wrap to prevent further breakage. On what was left of the passenger seat was the angel that had been firmly esconsed in the glass flower! The workers at the wreckage site had certainly not taken the time to fish out the ornament, remove the bubble wrap and the angel and deposit her on the front seat! (I confess, I did ask them anyway and they just looked at me as if to say "Yep, head injury alright." The rest of the ornament and the bubble wrap was smashed up along with everything else I'd had in the car. The angel somehow flew out of the ornament to wait for me to find an early Christmas gift...xoMuse: Part Fairy Godmother, Part Greek Goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05493935853330597594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-58187370255703614662011-07-08T12:16:45.146-04:002011-07-08T12:16:45.146-04:00Oh, no, Mimi!

The passenger side was completely crushed. She walked away from the wreck knowing angels had wrapped their wings around her - there was no other logical explanation.<br /><br />She wasn't published then. But she figured she had work to do if she'd survived such a thing. So she followed her dream. Eighteen books later she's still writing, still driving - though she went through several years of rainy-day anxiety because of it.<br /><br />SO glad to read this post and know you are alright.Julia Phillips Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392455413201190775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-85274223291937839572011-07-07T13:55:33.573-04:002011-07-07T13:55:33.573-04:00Such a selfish thought...but I'm grateful that...Such a selfish thought...but I'm grateful that we didn't lose your voice, Mimi.

No final pleas, as you said but only one word I remember and it was a swear. One look at my car also had me thinking an angel or a fairy had its arms around the drivers side of my totaled car as the other side was ruined. The state trooper said I should have been dead. <br /><br />Thank you to your angel who helped guide you!
