Do Guardian Angels Exist?

Rickster,  Yeah, for sure, those little voices come in rather handy at times, don't they? 

Great story.  Thanks for sharing. 

I had an incident when I was 16. I had only had my driver's license for about 2 weeks and I was on my way to a friend's church for a youth group activity and it had snowed a couple of days before, then melted a bit, and then re-froze so there was more ice on the roads than I expected. Being a new driver, I realized that I didn't check if I had my seat belt on, it wasn't a habit yet. I looked and I didn't, so I pulled off and put the seat belt on and then pulled back onto the road and continued on my way. Just few seconds later, a car came flying around the curve in the opposite direction and veered into my lane, got righted into their lane and kept right on flying past. I jerked the wheel to avoid the car as I was coming into the curve and right as I did, I hit a patch of ice and my car went flying off the road, over the ditch, rolled three times, and crashed into a phone pole on the passenger side. I was fine other than a couple of scratches and bruises. My brother who is closest in age to me had wanted to go with that day and I had told him he could, but then changed my mind at the last second as I was walking out the door and told him that he could go next time. The way my car crashed into the phone pole crunched the passenger seat. My brother might not have been killed, but would have likely have been very seriously hurt.

I don't know if it was a guardian angel or not, but that whisper to check my seat belt had me going slower than I might have been if I weren't just pulling off of the side of the road from stopping to fasten it and I don't know why I changed my mind about bringing my brother with, either. He frequently went with me and I didn't mind taking him, but I'm very glad that I did change my mind and tell him no that day.

My mom was coming home from grocery shopping and saw the accident. First she saw a bunch of emergency vehicles and as she got closer, saw that it looked like an accident. As she got even closer, she saw that it looked like her car and when she got up to it and saw the license plate, came screeching to a stop in a dead panic and said she kept telling them that it was her car and asking where her daughter was. This was before cell phones and no one there knew off hand where I was. I had flagged down a passing truck and they drove me back to the police station in town and the police sent me by ambulance to the hospital. That whole time, I was trying to get them to call my mom or dad, but I guess they weren't able to get ahold of either of them. My mom finally found out that I was at the hospital and turned around and went there with all of the groceries still in her car. It was a while before I got to drive again.

rickymouse,

If you get a job in the sewer, please say hello to Obummer for us, okay? 

Yep. Angels, spirit guides, protectors. What ever you call them, I believe in them. I'm very grateful to them as well.

Back when I was military and living on base, my wife was working at a M&M Meatshop and I was to pick her up at noon when she finished work! We were heading home to see a show that weekend for my Birthday so we had to go no matter what (No refunds and tickets were expensive). Thsi was on 17 Feb 2006

I was in the car with our son and daughter waiting when she came outside to see me! Her cash wasnt balancing and was missing 100$ even! Knowing it would look really bad she wanted to find the mistake to avoid the boss thinking she stole it!

A huge snowstorm was beginning to sorround us along with freezing rain! The wife came out running! Got in the car and was so pissed off that 100$ bill had slipped under the cash register and it took her 30 minutes to find it!

And we hit the road for our 5 hour drive to our home town! about halfway there we could see flashing lights everywhere and a detour sign! so we slowed down and a policeman approached us informing us to take a detour (1h30 long) because there was a massive 78 car pile-up (unconfirmed at the time) that occured about 30 minutes prior! Completely closing the highway for athe entire night and part of the next day!

If we the cash would have balanced, we could have been right in the middle of it! Now how the 100$ bill got there is beyond us because of the way the register was designed, it was almost impossible....

It ended up being the biggest pile-up in quebec history even to this day! Luckily only 2 dead and around 100 injured

These pictures are from the actual crash:
