I crawled to the shore and lay down, 46 . The next thing I knew was people were 47 around me, covering me with coats.
When I awoke, I was home in my own bed. Mom sat next to me, 48 my hand. “I saw nobody there. It must be an angel that came to my 49 .” I said. Mom smiled, “I just thank God you’re safe.”
