Guardian Angels

[markpierre]

Something or someone physically picked me up from my chair on the back porch once and made me run around the house and discover my girlfriends 3 year old standing on the seat of my car and steering it down a hill towards a terrace
15 feet above the deep end of an empty swimming pool.
I just made it to the car and just got the brakes on and the car stopped, a meter from the edge.

If reading that sentence made you breathless, imagine how I felt.

Another time in the middle of the night on a country road, I took a sharp banked corner way too fast and was about to roll the car when something or someone jerked the wheel out of my grasp and steered us straight off the middle of the curve and onto a road that couldn't be seen.

Hey those were back when I was a kid. I was impressionable.
