Mysterious Helpers
By April Mays
I wanted to share a story from many years ago. I visited my home town for a class reunion. The kids were small so Rich stayed behind with them in the hotel and I headed out into the night.
I drove up the mountain towards the ski lodge and the fog set in. These are the mountains of PA with dangerous drops and no shoulder. I was terrified. I was able to pull over into a space on the side that opened up.
I was stuck there until an older couple stopped to help me. This was pre cell phone days. No one else stopped. They were so kind and trustworthy. I was so scared to drive and the man drove my stick shift car down the mountain out of the fog and his wife followed in their car. I was able to get back to the hotel.
I never knew their names or saw them again, but felt like the guardians had been active that night. It was amazing and I was so grateful to make it back to safety.
