I never believed in Angels. I believe in Heaven, & God. The day I started Believing in Angels, is the day I won't forget. 

My Grandpa & Grandma had taken me to Sunny San Diego for the weekend, & told me to swim in the ocean & have a good time, & they'll be right back. I was 10 & I knew I could handle myself. The beach was almost empty except for an elderly couple. 

I started swimming & I didn't realize how far I had gotten. I got pulled under the water, & couldn't get out. I screamed for help, but the couple had left. I was in an ocean, which seemed like it NEVER came to an end, alone. I tried to swim in, but it was no use. I was going to die. I looked up & said, "God help me!!!" 

I don't remember getting to shore, but suddenly I was on my towel, and coughing. The beach was recently raked, because it was early in the morning, & I saw no footprints. I started asking myself if I was day-dreaming, & my Grandparents returned. 

They asked me what I needed so urgently, & why it couldn't wait. They said I called there cell, & said help I need help. I told them I never called, but they didn't believe me. I decided to go back swimming, when I got to the edge of the water, and saw an Angel drawing. >i< Sort of like that. 

I looked to the Heaven's and thanked my God for saving my life.
