[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, great memory for a 4 yr old.  do you count cards?[/quote]

I have always had an excellent memory, but this incident was of such magnitude that I have always remembered details clearly like the lifeguard staring down, the people near me (about 10' away) splashing and yelling but not noticing me.   The strange resignation of "I am going to die and there is nothing I can do about it."  I especially remember being sad for my mom that I would be dead.  This shocked me that I cared more about her than me dying.

I have never forgotten it because I should have been dead. I could not hold my breath any more. I was finished. It was over.

It is one of those things I will probably remember until the day I die.

I had not thought of that summer day in a long time until I read this post topic and it triggered that memory again.  Even now I see my dead body floating in the pool and people screaming as they pull me out.  My mom is hysterical.  Everyone is sad that I drowned.

That is what was certain to happen to me had not that young girl pulled me out of the water.  I have always wondered what happened to her, if she ever realized that she saved a life that day.
