Not one of my memories- but I been told...

When I was little we had an open ditch that went from one field to the next through a pipe, and then opened up again. From what I can remember being told, My Brother "C" and I were playing outside while Dad was working in the garden space. I guess that we had gone out into the field un-noticed by anyone to play. At some point we must have gotten to playing in the ditch or at least near it. I fell in and "C" only being 3 years older than me wasn't big enough to pull me out. At some point Dad looked up and noticed "C" looking at the ditch. I don't know how long it took him to realize that I wasn't with him before he made it to the ditch to pull me out just as I was about to go into the pipe- were it might have ended my life. I don't remember any thing about this but have been told about it a few times. Was it just a chance that Dad looked up at the right moment, or divine intervention? All I know is that he had to be in-tune with the spirit to receive the prompting to check on us. But that was the kind of man he was, he listened to the voice that told him who was in need of his help. Even if that was just a simple bag of veggies dropped off with a kind word or him showing up at your home to help with your chores when you were in need of help. That was who is was, and still is. I know that he is helping with some work that needs to be done, because he was not the kind of man that would just sit around. Not my Dad.
