When my dad found out that he was going to have me, he enlisted in the army to help pay the bills. While in the Army he was required to take part in the activities including live war practices. One day during one of these practices my dad was in a ditch hiding. No one else was anywhere near him. All of a sudden he hears somebody yelling at him to get up and run. He looked around and didn't see anybody. Again he hears the same thing but this time it sounds like someone is screaming it in his ear. This time he gets up and runs, seconds later a granade goes off. My father would have been blown to pieces if he had stayed there.

About a year later my father was coming home. He started to run across the street to the house, excited to see my mother and I, when all of a sudden he feels something grab his shoulders and hold him there. It saved his life because less then a second later he saw a bus shoot by right in front of him. After the bus was gone whatever was holding him there let go. My father is convinced that it was his guardian angel. He said that he/she was saving his life because my he had yet to feel his purpose in life.
