Today is the day my oldest basset graduates from the 6th grade. It hit both of my baby bassets this morning that they wont be in the same school together for the first time 8in their life next year.  They actually hugged eachother…IN PUBLIC!!! So far I havent had the urge to cry, but I get the feeling those two boys are going to make it real difficult. I didnt cry when they went to preschool, or when they went off to kindergarten. I did cry when I hit my elbow really really hard, so if I feel the urge to cry coming on, I will just say I hit my elbow again. I WILL NOT CRY!

When an Angel Intervenes, is based on a true story. On Friday January 24th, 1986 at approximately 4:45 PM, within an hour of stepping off a school bus I was dying from a self-inflicted gun-shot wound in a lonely, secluded forest. I was 16 years old that night, and I had turned to suicide to escape a decade of child abuse, neglect, and abandonment.
Before pulling the trigger to rifle aimed at my heart I made a final prayer. I asked God, to send an Angel to save me. Unsure if God had heard me or not, I pulled the trigger.

When the rifle went off, I knew I had made a mistake and I wanted my life back. I learned life was a gift and I would take a thousand reasons why I had just pulled that trigger if I could have my life back. What would happen next, was a 2 hour long savage battle to survive suicide, and a miracle from heaven.

I attempted to convey lessons learned that night in this historical fiction. Inspired by the events of that night I sought to express, life is a gift, and it’s the little things, that make it so.
