Oh Sally, what an experience! My heart was racing (in your behalf) - you did an exceptional job of describing this harrowing experience. So glad you survived the experience (and equally glad there were no children in the car at the time of the accident). All the best with your contest entry.

So many of us have these miracle escapes that we can tell. And to think people someone is watching over us. I mean, how else could have anyone escaped such a terrible accident. It just wasn't your time. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Sal,
I have to agree that the BeeGees are rather heavenly sounding!
This is a very well written, yet harrowing true story.
It could've been so much worse and I'm glad that you got out from the wreckage of your car in one piece.
It's so lovely that you refer to Jackson as your 'Heaven on Earth.'
Best wishes and good luck in the contest.
Debra :)

Wow, that's a very scary story, Sally! I'm sure it haunted you for a long time. It was fortunate that there was a witness, someone who called in the emergency right away and got you both out safely.

I found one little error: "Please tell me there we (were) no children in the back of the Suburban."

Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you, dear Dolly. I miss driving now that Im blind, but not this part of driving. The roadways have become so dangerous. I'm glad my angels were about.

A stunner! Spot-on title lines for the theme. Gripping saga--startling ending--Jesus's hands cupping your face? Amazing that you can recall the details so clearly--brilliantly narrated!

First of all, I'm so glad you came through the harrowing experience. You clearly are not finished your kind work yet. I referred you to Leann DS. She struggles with losing her sight. I knew you would be a good support for her. She said she's been reading your works and admires you.

I like this line. It is so expressive: "The back passenger side door let go with a sigh" Along with the reader. That video helps us know what you went through. Thank you for sharing this.

Sally, you account of this harrowing experience and the miracle of your still being here is excellently recounted, in vivid detail with moving dialogue. God wasn't ready for you to die.

The I just helps to know who you are doesn't make sense. You probably meant It. Other than that it makes a wonderfully exciting true life story. My blessings on this entry.

What a harrowing experience. I still have a whiplash and all the memories from a car wreck fifty years ago, so I do relate. This is very well written and I'm so glad you found your Heaven on earth.

    Whiplash is so serious and painful. I hope you have fully recovered. Sometimes methinks my left hand looks a little bluish.
    Sending you my best and many thanks for the great review,
