We were so blessed

You may be wondering why I am saying that we were blessed when Abbie's head looks like this


and this.

Oh how much worse it could have been.  We were at the Herriman Farmer's Market this morning walking around looking at all the different vendors.  One of the people has mirrors for sale, they are massively heavy.  They are made of rocks and glass and all sorts of things.  Well Abbie was playing around with some of the mirrors that were at her level, nothing bad just looking at her self in them and seeing who else she could see in them she wasn't doing anything that I would have considered dangerous at all.  Then she made the stand wiggle just slightly and down came one of the biggest mirrors (it must of weighed 40 pounds or more) right on Abbie's head.   I was right beside her because I had been looking in the mirrors with her and somehow I reacted fast enough to mostly catch the mirror as it fell.  It only grazed her instead of falling straight down on her head.    The man selling the mirrors said "how in the world did you catch that?"  At first I didn't really know how I did it, but after some thought I realized that I couldn't have done it by myself, our guardian angel, Trisha, was there to help me.  She loved my kids as much as I do and had hardly any time on earth with Abbie, I think she watches over all her nieces and nephews, but especially the little ones.  She is there to protect them when she can.  We were not lucky, we were blessed by a very loving angel.

I believe in angels too! This one made me cry. Thanks for sharing it, and I am so grateful your little one was watched over. Oh, these experiences make you so grateful.

That is so scary! I am so glad she is ok and that you were both being watched over. I have to ask though, what happened to Trisha! Apparently it has been way to long since I have talked to you. -Tara

She died of a heart attach March 22, 2009. She was doing fine, just like the Trisha you would remember, loving being an aunt to all mine and my siblings kids. She had a heart attack on a Thursday and passed away on the following Sunday morning, after my parents decided to take her off life support because there wasn't anything they could do for her. It was sudden and heart breaking for our family, but she is definitely in a better place. There are a few posts about it on here if you go back to March of last year.

Nikki, thanks for sharing that special experience. I know that those we love are very close. I have felt Sheridan so near before. I'm so glad your sweet baby wasn't hurt worse. It sounds like a very close call. It's such a blessing that we can recognize these small miracles for what they are--blessings!
