They're are Angels among Us!!

Monday Memories

A couple of years ago, we were invited to go swimming with Maka's cousin. Of course we jumped at the opportunity! Until-

I found out where we would be swimming.. It was at their apartment complex..

You think what is wrong with that? Well let me tell you a mothers nightmare.....

We got their, no lifeguards, no shallow area for the little ones to play in and not very many people in the pool!

That for me is not a good time, that is a worry fury with (at the time 6 little children who could not swim)

We'll, we got their, I was in charge of 3 and Maka had the other 3. It worked out pretty good, we kept an arms distant from them all at all times..

Maka's cousin had 2 children, one was 2, and the other just a babe.

As we head out of the pool for lunch we all exited the pool, went over to the pavilion to eat..

As we all had our food, we heard a little one yell out "Mom, Pokai is in the water!" Then we all turned and a mother jumped in the pool and pulled out Maka's nephew who was 2 out of the pool. He had been under there for awhile, and it was not looking to good.. I can close my eyes and replay the whole scene even after 2 years..

They lady in the pool threw the little one over the edge, as he laid there blue, lifeless, everyone was just screaming.

It hit me like a ton of bricks... "I threw baby Elaiasi to Maka and yelled, " I know CPR!!"

I ran over there lost it. dropped to the ground and checked for breathing, NOPE!

I tilted his head and started CPR. After about 2 minutes of CPR nothing.. I was angry, I was devastated, and I wanted to hit someone.. I was yelling at little pokai, crying, but also trying to stay calm for the parents.

Finally as the paramedics arrived, I did it one last time before the paramedics took over. I stood up and collapsed.. I was in shock! As I woke up, I looked over and the paramedics 2, 3, 4. "Cough, cough" Pokai took a breathe!

They hurried him to the hospital while we all waited at the pool, nobody swimming, just crying..
Then the news came our way.. He is fine. He will be alright!

They hospital said he should not be alive. We was gone for too long.

But you see Heavenly Father works in Marvelous ways.. Little Pokais time was not then, and so he was sent back here to fulfill his work on this earth.

Did you see the angel in that story?

She was the one who pulled the little 2 year old girl over to the pool and to yell to her mother that a little boy was in the water, you see, he was down so far, that to the naked eye, you could not tell he was down there.

I wanted to share this story with you all today.. Summer is here..

Please keep your children close to you. Please keep them safe!

I know I will try my hardest, and I will take every moment that I have with them to enjoy each memory we have together.

So I am putting this blog in the shadow. I will post, I will comment, it will just have to be at night when the chickadees are asleep, I do not want to have my children remember me and the mom who is on the computer all the time, I still will blog, I still will comment, but I am only doing it at night.

Just call me the night time bandit!
