When I was 5, my mom, my brother and I went to a friend's house to go swimming in their backyard pool. I did not know how to swim and was quite afraid of deep water. So I just sat on the edge of the pool while everyone else swam and played games in the pool. Someone had accidentally hit a beachball out of the pool and across the yard, opposite of the side of the pool where I was sitting. Everyone was watching my mom's friend's son as he got out to get it. That's when I slipped off of the pool deck and into the water. No one saw me go in because they all had they're backs turned to me. I sank to the bottom of the pool. I was paralyzed with fear. The only part of my body I could move was my hand. I put it up out of the water and started to wave to my mom to get her attention, but she still didnt see me. My eyes were wide open as I watched my mom's legs, waiting for her to turn around. The next thing I know, I'm half way up on the pool deck again and crying my eyes out. I then pulled my legs out of the water and went inside the house. Thats when my mom finally turned around. I have no idea how I got out of the pool. I was too short to even reach up to grab the edge of the pool. And even if I was, I wouldn't have had the strength to pull myself out. No one there knew that I had fallen in until I finally told them later on, so that rules out anyone else helping me. So the only other explanation I can think of is that an angel pulled me out. What do you think?
