Can you swim? I did'nt know how until I was a teenager. I wish i would have learned earlier, but, if i did, i never would have had such an unusual experience. Did you know that you have a gaurdian angel?....watching, never losing grasp of your hand, always there protecting you?

I was young when it happened, about elleven. Ten years ago seems only ten minutes ago. I went swimming with my sunday school class one Sunday after church. One of the members of church had a nice big pool. I was happy to go, but i did not know how to swim yet. I mainly stayed in the shallow end and watched everyone else have a good time while I was lonely in the corner. Just like any kid i got real bored real quick so i decided to hang on to the side of the pool and drag myself over to the deep end. As I got close to the ladder half way down i knew it was getting to deep. Just a little closer and I can get out by climbing the ladder...at least thats what I thought. I reached for the ladder but I missed it and slipped in the water. I struggled to make it but it was to late, I was already sinking. And then I saw her.... no, nothing spectacular, just a young girl with short blonde hair, and she was smiling, smiling at me. She was just standing there on the ladder, looking at me with those big eyes. I reached for her arm and grabbed it, and pulled myself out the water. When i grabbed her arm I felt her skin, but when I pulled myself up....there was no one there, just me holding the ladder. The unusual thing is that no one seen it, and how I dont know. I looked all over that pool for than little girl with blonde hair, I never saw her again, but I know she is still here with me today.
