PrintableI was robbed at gunpoint in 1991 and then in late 2006 my downstairs neighbor set the house we were living in on fire (on purpose - she's in jail now). So, I'm counting my blessings! | |

I almost fell out of a window as a kid.
I almost got hit by a car about five times. I slit my wrist with a piece of glass at 4 years old. Both my oldest son and I almost died in childbirth. | |

you sound like you have a strong mind. i was robbed at gunpoint once, two guys, the one holding the gun was a little erratic. thankfully they legged it as soon as they got the cash. i'm glad you're fine!!! it must be so scary to get robbed!  | |

DanceWme said: Last summer I was outside playing with some children in my neighborhood.
It had to be almost 100 degrees out. All they wanted to do was throw water balloons and what not  . It started to get real hot. I had to sit down and relax cuz I started to feel weird. I sat down for 10 mins then I got back up cuz they wanted me to finish playing. Next thing I know I wake up in the emergency room. I had passed out and messed up the whole left side of my face. I seriously looked like two face. It was swollen and bloody. They said I passed out by the fire hydrant. If I wouldve been two inches closer to the hydrant, I wouldve hit my head died. | |

Ocean said: ZombieKitten said: my blood pressure dropped VERY low when I had an emergency c-section. I'd lost a couple of litres of blood
I grabbed the surgeon's hand and held on with all my strength "I'm so scared" I said. His brow was sweaty and his face was ashen. I probably wasn't that close to death, but everyone was acting like it. My c section went something like that too..Dean nearly passed out and told me he was never getting me pregnant again Leo did that too! he fell off his chair and there was a flurry of alarm as suddenly he had everyone's attention  while I was dying on the table  | |

Close enough.
A tornado ripped into the roof over the top-floor apartment units that were around mine. It circled me, basically, hitting those units and halving the tall trees that stood outside my bedroom window. It punched a gaping hole in the building across the street from me, created all sorts of damage in neighboring apartment buildings, and killed a woman when it tossed her SUV over a nearby subdivision's fence. Someone looked at the damage that surrounded me and agreed that God's protection is for real. I also was nearly hit by a driver who ran a red light as I made a left turn. Physics really didn't explain how I was able to make the turn so quickly (at such a relatively slow speed). I credit God for that one, too. | |
