{this is not my car, just a picture of what things looked like!}Do you believe in Angels? Well I especially do after this afternoon! I was on my way home from work this afternoon & decided to go down a road that has been flooded out the last few days. I go up to a point where it had been flooded & saw that almost all the water was gone & it looked as if tons of other cars had just gone on the shoulders of either side of the road. So I decided, being in an SUV I would just do the same. So I proceeded to drive along the shoulder and it was fine until I got to the middle of where all the water had been gathering & I just started to sink deep into the mud. Let's just say I was able to open my door but the bottom scraped the mud as it was opening. I couldn't believe it!! I didn't know what I was going to do because I was by myself. Then this little tiny blue car comes driving up & these 3 Mexican guys looked over at me & motioned to see if I needed help & I just shook my head yes. They parked their car & hopped out, with hand signals they showed me which way to turn the wheels & they finally got me unstuck.
Then.... I got stuck again because the ground was so saturated. I seriously felt like crying at this point because these sweet men were pushing with all their might, were covered in mud & were obviously on their way somewhere else when they decided to take pity on me. Another guy in a truck stopped & rolled down his window & said sorry I don't have a chain or I would pull you out & the Mexican guys motioned for him to get out & come help push. The man got out & came over & watched for a second & then asked if I had Triple A or something so I could get towed. I said I didn't & then he asked if he could give me a ride somewhere. I declined as I was only about a mile away from home. The Mexican guys just shook their heads as the guy got in his truck & drove away. Then the Mexican guys started walking around in the desert & found a bunch of sticks. They then got on their hands & knees & started digging my Element out enough so they could try prying it with the sticks. They got them all situated & showed me how to turn the wheel again & then they started pushing, & pushing with all their might & we started moving!!!! They just kept running & pushing the car until I was on a clear part of the road. I parked the car, got out & gave them all hugs! I wish I had something I could have given them to say thank you but all I had were a bunch of issues of Country Living magazine in my car & I don't think they would have appreciated those quite like I do! These men are my angels! I am so thankful that they were so thoughtful to stop & help me. They could have just kept driving like the guy in the truck but they didn't. They made sure all was well first. I wish every good thing for them & their families! So today like most I DO believe in Angels!
