It was many years ago my family was visiting my grandparents and it was a hot summer day so we were all out at the pool.

My grandparent’s pool had two sides to it one was four feet and the other was eight feet well I was only about seven years old and wanted to be with everyone else at the big end of the pool. I was holding onto a float and went to grab onto another one and let go of the one that I had but didn't grab the other in time. I was all ready into the 8 foot part of the pool and I went straight down. I was panicking and kept trying to get back up to the surface. every time I was almost there and tried to call out for help I would sink back down again. I heard someone say where did Charlene go and someone else said oh she must have gone into the house.

At that point I was so tried of trying to reach the surface and then all of the panic just left me and I was about to give up and everything felt so peaceful. it was really a strange feeling after being so afraid and then at peace. anyway I heard someone say in my ear to look up and I really was just about to give up but I looked up and there was a float above me. I reached up and grasped it and dunked my dad and he ended up saving me. but if it wasn't for that voice I would have died... there is no denying it. My dad asked me later if I was thirsty he was always joking around like that.. Miss you dad and will love you always... he killed himself two years ago... I hope he is at peace now. Thank you for listening to my story it is true.
