You guardian angel is very real and willing to help. Over the years, I have asked for and received assistance from my angel. When a blizzard struck several years ago, I set out to find my daughter. The car became stuck on a hill in blinding snow. I called on my guardian angel for help. A while later, headlights began coming down the hill. It was a snowplow. A path was cleared enough for me to pass. The plow disappeared into the blizzard. The road ends with a turnaround so the plow would normally return ... it never did. The path was enough for me to turn the car around and navigate my way home.

I love reading your stories, NYer. Please keep them coming, and add my daughter to "your list," if you haven't already done so. Her name is Therese. Thank you.

As far as my guardian angel, I can barely look him in the eye, but I still do. He's saved me countless times, like when I was on the back of a chopper with no helmet or other protection: "A Chopper is a motorcycle of which the rake of the front fork has been increased to a rake which is considerably larger than the rake of the original stock motorcycle," and the driver was moving at an incredible speed down a gravel path with no lighting other than his headlamp on his bike. How I made it off that bike in one piece must be due to my guardian angel, even though at the time I did not pray much. The next time I saw the driver of that bike, he was without one of his legs....

I could have died in an auto accident at the age of 2 1/2 months, later (about six or seven) at warm springs, and once in the Atlantic Ocean where I was found by the Coast Guard floating two miles down the coast from where I entered the water.

Thank you, dear Guardian Angel.

Beautiful name! (and also my middle name ;-) Have entrusted Therese (and you) to my guardian angel who serves as List Secretary.

No evil shall befall you, nor shall affliction come near your tent, for to His Angels God has given command about you, that they guard you in all your ways. Upon their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
Psalm 91: 10-12

Send your angel a hug, albeit belatedly. What a frightening experience. Have you gone riding, since?

Her name is Therese.
