Angels

Since it's still November and I haven't done a thankful post I thought today would be the perfect day to do so. I don't even know if my mom remembers but she gave me this angel that is pictured on Christmas day 7 years ago. It is my favorite gift I have ever recieved. 7 years ago today I was in a horrible car accident. I was going to school at byu and my friend had just picked me up from the sl airport. We were almost home when driving on the freeway in Orem a car switched lanes and almost hit us. My friend swerved out of the way and we went spinning out of control. The car went over the median and flipped three times landing on the other side of the freeway. We were upside down and all of the windows were shattered. I looked over at my friend and there was blood everywhere. I thought she was dead. I couldn't get out of the car. people everywhere came running to our rescue and got me out of the car. My friend was still in the car when the police and fireman came. I don't know how they even got her out. Three of the tires were off the car and stuff was everywhere. All over the freeway. When I looked at the car it was compeletly smooshed. Pretty much flat. The police said it was the worst accident they had seen in years. They also said not many people would have survived that. The freeway was closed for hours. My friend was rushed to the hospital. They had to staple her scalp shut, but she was okay which was a miracle. I remember looking at the flat, shattered, tireless car thinking how did I walk away without a single scratch? I was not even sore the next day. I did not spend one second in the hospital. I examined the car a little more and saw that the front passenger seat was the only area of the car that did not get flattened. It was like a little tent was hovering me in the seat. And that's when I knew, angels had been watching over me. So on christmas day, three weeks after the accident my mom gave me this angel. And on the back of it, it says may angels always surround you. I believe in angels and I'm so thankful for them!!! The accident was 7 years ago but I still hate driving on the freeway. It scares me. I have always believed in angels, I have a special place in my heart for them. When looking for a nativity scene for my home a couple years ago I wanted to get the perfect one. I knew I had found the one I wanted when I found this angel in the nativity. I fell in love with it. She has pink shoes and pink wings with pigtails. She reminds me so much of Haylee. I've always thought of Haylee as my little angel girl. So I have the nativity in my house and Haylee loves this little angel. She always moves the angel so it's facing baby Jesus. I always fix the angel after Haylee goes to bed so she is facing the right way, but I realized a couple days ago the angel should be facing Jesus so now I leave it. But anyway I love these two angels in my home!!
