Guardian Angels

I think somebody up there is looking out for us.

About 10 years ago in Hawaii, we rented this Lincoln Town Car and was on this four lane hiway or interstate leaving Honolulu, heading for Honanamah Bay. Good thing I wasn't messing with the air conditioner or radio, had both hands on the wheel and was being attentative. This bit concrete truck was coming right at us; I swerved, and luckily no cars were on my right, but this big chrome bumper about eye level barely missed us.

As I looked into the rear view mirror, the truck was still in the oncoming lane, heading towards the opposite side of the road. Had he hit us, I am sure I would have been killed, my step daughter directly behind me would have been killed. My wife's sister is a Catholic Nun, and she was in the back seat. I had no warning except my visual contact of this truck. My sister-in-law was my Guardian Angel that day!

So I know what you are saying about road hazards out there when traveling. One year we traveled about 4,000 miles and about 1 mile from home, almost involved in a wreck by a bad driver. Traveled 3,999 miles without incident.

  1. I read where most accidents happen close to home. That is why I moved.
