Do you believe this story .......because it happened to our family!

Thanks...this was my husbands cousins son but I appreciate the kind words and I really appreciate your comments and for responding to my discussion!

Thanks so much for responding...yes whoever you call God is who save little Michael from moving on to another life...thanks for responding!

I didn't go into it fully but he said she wore a long blue dress and had a "blanket" on her head; as he described. This would be most like a person like St Mary who is always shown as wearing a blue gown and headdress common in Jesus's time. This was such an amazing thing for our family that I love to share it. Whether it was an angel or someone else we will never know but I think prayers helped him to survive!

Well it must have been Mary? he is very lucky to be in her hands. Big hugs for him. xxxx

Thanks for responding Golly and thanks for the comments!

Hi Ellie,
Lovely answer as always! I do think that there was divine intervention and that there is a purpose to his being saved. I thank you for your response to this discussion...thanks and have a great weekend!

I agree it was someone protecting Michael, and I believe that this was someone who protects children. I thank you for your comments...bless you!

You're very welcome.

Me too mooch,
I don't think a lot of people believe that with every good there is also evil. If you read the bible it does talk about it but it seems that some don't want to think about this. Thanks for responding to my discussion!

Traditionally in Roman Catholic theology, people have stated over the years that apparitions of St. Mary were with her wearing a long soft blue dress and headdress of the time of Jesus. This has been documented time and time again. As for whether the nurses and nuns wear this, the outfits of these women is very different.
I am not arguing on this subject, just stating the information that I was told. Thanks for responding to this discussion and you have a great day fec my friend!

Fec - you asked "Who cares at this point anyway?" Anyone with a Catholic background or a belief system in Jesus, Mary and Joseph would care and care deeply, no matter when. Horn is Catholic and I imagine has raised her son that way. So it would matter very much to him too. And really - when there is belief, who's to say what's hallucination and what's not? Perhaps that's how God and His angels and saints reveal themselves to us. I'm sorry, but I find your tone a little rude and that's just not nice. It's obvious YOU don't care, but please don't take that away from those of us who do.

Well, i certainly believe in this story, not only because thatI hold on to my religion, but I think what's important here is the faith. When you have faith then you already solve half of the problem. It cannot be proved that there is GOD or Saint, but those holy spiritual figure are all the symbol of faith, belief and hope in human lives.

Yes, I do believe in faith and hope. Perhaps because I am not Christian, I don't get the "saint" thing. But what I meant in my post [and it came out wrong, for which I apologize because I didn't intend to offend anyone] is this: whether it's St. Mary, G-d, a higher power, it matters less what you call it than the fact that it worked, and it can be something so vague as just faith in miracles in general.

I live it every day. I was diagnosed with ALS in 2004, and I was expected to live 2-5 years. It is now well over 5 years since the onset of my symptoms. I have seen people die from this disease within months, and I know two people who have lived with ALS for more than 10 years. I attribute my longevity to a miracle. It may be the miracle of science, or miracle of G-d, but I don't care which one it is...it's MY miracle! And I am grateful for every day!

Fec I am so happy for you...I know you live with the fear of death every day and more importantly the loss of being able to live the way you would like! I think your an amazing person and hope that this miracle that I know is one, will keep on going for as long as you want to be here! I thank you for letting us know how it is with you and appreciate you sharing it with all of us!

Fec, thank you for coming back and explaining. My heart goes out to you in your struggle. You will be in my prayers. -- Just because you may not have faith, doesn't mean that the faith we have for you won't work! LOL God's loves us whether we love Him you know. Hugs.

Hear Hear Sparks!

Thats a great thought dfly,
I too think that no matter what happened it was a great sign of something wonderful! Thanks for responding!

Thank you Sparks for telling me that! I believe like you that it was her.She watches over all children and I know I have prayed to her when my daughter has been on a plane or on a helicopter being flown 85 miles away to try to save her life with asthma. This has happened three times so far in the last 3 years and they said she doesn't stand a chance of getting through this but she's still with us isn't she?! So yes I believe you...I believe that if YOU believe it will happen.
I don't know how your son got those fevers or why my husbands cousins son got them but they are both fine aren't they!?! So you keep the faith my friend and you smile knowing you are a believer!

Horn, I make it a practice to 'smile' in some way at God every day. I know He smiles back. How cool is that huh? It's not really hard to believe you know, if you just LET yourself.

Your so right! I will always believe, even if sometimes I get frustrated or mad I know he's there. I had a time in my earlier life when I was really angry at God but I think that was ok with him too. Like a father he waited patiently for me to grow up and to see what I needed to see and I did. Now we are pretty good friends and I talk to him each and every day and I believe he answers me back. Thanks for the uplifting comments girly! Have a great week!

You're welcome my dear. After all - we are made in His image and He and Jesus had plenty of anger themselves at times, so I'm sure He understands. Hugs.

Sorry.. I knew it wasn't your son.. don't know why I typed that.. either way.. you understood what I meant

I think Michael had someone or something protecting him and I believe he believed what he saw. I thank you for your comments and I appreciate your thoughtfulness in replying to my discussion!
