An Angel Watching Over Us

Do you ever reflect on moments in your childhood where you could have lost everything from one event?  Well I had one haunting memory in particular.  Looking back now, I feel like I had an angel watching over me and my parents that day cause things could have turned out a lot worse than they did.

My mom, step dad Eddie, their friend John, his girlfriend, our two dogs and I were going on a trip to Mt Limantour Beach.  As a kid, John was one of favorite friends of my parents.  He was always smiling, had a kind heart and I loved listening to him playing music with Eddie.  So right before we got ready to go on trip, I asked if I could go with John and his girlfriend in his VW bus. We followed behind my parents in their 4 wheel drive 1969 Chevy Suburban that my step dad called the “Tahoe Express.”  He had made the suburban into a camper with beds, sink, heater and built in ice chest.

The trip was going great until all of a sudden I saw my parents vehicle go off the side of the road and my mom fly in the air.  I remember feeling like I was in complete shock.  Is this really happening or just a dream?  Tears came flowing down my cheeks.  Are my parents alive?  I was so so scared.

All I can remember today is that we pulled over to the side of the road, seeing an ambulance and hugging my parents once I saw they were okay.  I think my mom flew out the sunroof but I will never know for sure if that is what happened.  We think our dog Bozo climbed out…dogs are pretty resilient.  And I think both Eddie and our dog Vino climbed out of the car.

They were taken to Marin General for minor scratches and injuries.  Eddie needed some stitches.  I wonder to this day if I had an angel watching over us. What would have happened if I had been in the car too?  Would I have survived?  The injuries could have been way worse for my parents and they could have gone off a steeper part of the embankment.  I am so thankful they survived that accident and will always remember that day.  A day that could have ended in major tragedy, but they walked out alive.

I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.

    1. All I can tell u is if I open a blog story of my own I want to share on my iPhone, I can go to bottom of page and press arrow and share it on Facebook.
      Hope that helps

  83. First off I would like to say great blog! I had a quick question which
    I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to know
    how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
    I’ve had trouble clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.

    I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15
    minutes are lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
    Appreciate it!

    1. First off have u ever written poetry or done journaling
      I think those both help
      I used to do both a lot and they are good ways to unload thoughts and then u can go back and edit it or make it into a article or blog. But more recently, I actually think in my mind of what I want to say for awhile before I wrote the blog. Maybe think about it for a day or so. I also feel like I work better under situations where it is more quiet. Most my blogs I have written at home when my kids are at school. I don’t write well under tons of distractions and noise. I hope that helps a little

  84. Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m
    having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and
    Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  85. Does your site have a contact page? I’m having a tough time locating it but,
    I’d like to send you an e-mail. I’ve got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing.

    Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.

    1. Hi….I try to get back to people that ask me to email them but I am flooded with comments and don’t always have time to get back to all.
      But for some reason, a lot of emails I receive as part of commmet are not legit. I will try to email u and see if I can get thru to u.

  86. I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come
    across a blog that’s both equally educative and amusing, and let me tell
    you, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something which too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
    I am very happy that I found this in my hunt for something relating to this.

  87. My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from
    PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.

    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on several websites for about a year and am
    anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress
    content into it? Any kind of help would be
    really appreciated!

  88. you are in reality a just right webmaster. The site
    loading velocity is incredible. It seems that you’re doing any distinctive trick.
    Moreover, The contents are masterpiece. you’ve done a
    excellent job on this topic!

  89. Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I
    guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.

    I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything.
    Do you have any tips for rookie blog writers?
    I’d really appreciate it.

    1. Just try to find a niche that people will be drawn too. I tried to focus on being a mom but some of my write ups are about my childhood or personal experiences not having to do with being a mom. I tried to make my stuff relatable. I used Host volcano and woed press to do my site
      FYI I have to approve each comment before it is posted and I gets tons of them. So theres a good chance I just did not have time to approve other commmet but I approved this one 💜

  90. Fantastic beat ! I wish to apprentice while you amend your website, how could i subscribe for a blog website? The account helped me a acceptable deal. I had been tiny bit acquainted of this your broadcast offered bright clear concept

  91. I would like to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in writing this site. I am hoping the same high-grade web site post from you in the upcoming also.

    Please let me know if this okay with you. Thanks!

  93. Wonderful blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?

    I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little
    lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free
    platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many
    options out there that I’m totally overwhelmed
    .. Any tips? Thanks a lot!

    1. I did word press and Host volcano to set up mine and I had the help of my cousin that sets up websites for a living navigating my way around site and putting pictures on the site

  94. I have been exploring for a little for any high quality articles
    or blog posts on this kind of house . Exploring in Yahoo I finally stumbled upon this site.
