wonderful story, Bonnie. We've all done things as children that we wish we hadn't, I think. So glad all turned out all right this time. Angels do keep watch, often when we least expect it.

Oh Bonnie, what a harrowing story. Sometimes the good Lord and the angels take over when big sisters are distracted. I am so very happy David survived with minor injuries, for you would still be living the nightmare, and who knows what would have become of you then? Yes, not only do I remember Mary Maxim sweaters, but I knit my fair share of them myself, mostly elk, bear and moose. Great recount as usual. K

Hi BABA,

Touching story dear and well told.

I never owned one of those sweaters but remember them well. Apparently you shall eternally and so too David.

Thank you for another warm fuzzy!

I was reading your story and found myself reading faster and faster as it neared the part where you were digging in the snow under the teacher's car for David...I was holding my breath and praying he was unhurt. To say you captured my attention is putting it mildly! Very Good!

It's been a long time since I chewed on my fingernails, but I did so while reading your story! You grabbed my attention from the get-go all the way through to the last sentence. I wonder how many protective angels flew to David's side as that sled approached the moving car? Wow - did I breathe a sigh of relief when he called out "Baba"!
What a well-written story, Bonnie.
