Continuing from last week's posting of daddy's colostomy cancellation due to a miraculous discovery of a new 3-minute cure for early stages of colon cancer ... And, to bring it forward thirteen years to April of 1996.
That doctors in that Country sent their patients to the hospital to receive treatments with this special water called alkaline that had amazing healing capabilities in people ... that actually was helping them to get well ... but water? Really!?!
We decided to take the scenic route. (We'd driven along I-95 many times and had often spoke of following Coastal Hwy 17 from Florida to the New England States, but this wasn't to be.) We left Raleigh, drove to Greensboro and got on I-85 southward bound. We kept noticing these unusual cloud formations but with the 8-Track playing the Statler Brother's music in the background and we chiming in with our own harmony's. We were just enjoying this beautiful family time and not paying too much attention to the weather until . . .
As we drove into Atlanta and miles before we actually got into the downtown area on I-85, the weather began to change dramatically. The clouds got heavier and darker and the wind got up and you could see trees bowing in the distance and debris being blown all around. Then, the thundering began to roar and lightning popping all around and the small drops of rain actually turned into buckets and buckets and buckets of rain. I couldn't see anything it was raining just that hard and fast and oh, it was so bad that I still remember it today.
Mama was in the front with me and Daddy in the back giving me their gracious comforting and sweet motivational encouragements; which I knew wasn't coming from them, but from our heavenly Father above. How I held it all together was truly a miracle. I saw a bridge up ahead and I put my blinker on and slowly pulled to a complete stop and under that bridge. Oh my, I have never, ever, witnessed such a horrific and terrifying storm in my life. Mama made the comment that she had seen these storms .. that if you heard thunder across the mountain that you'd better be finding shelter soon cause it'd be on top of you before you could count to 10.
The storm began to move on and the sky began to lighten as the rain began to let up, still heavy but nothing like it'd been just a few moments earlier. Daddy said we could continue so we all began to try and find a break in the five lane traffic that kept coming and coming and...then, an angel from heaven came, held up traffic so I could get back on the road. He smiled and waved as he went by and I had the warmest and most peaceful feeling after seeing this kind soul. I knew that things were going to be okay.
We arrived at our friends home in Naples, safe and sound. While there, mama had her copy of the Prevention magazine to show and asked if they had heard of alkaline water. That in the article it mentioned that it had healing properties for those with not only heart disease but also had healed the Japanese people of many diseases (diabetes, high blood pressure, even cancer which was rare in that Country). After reading the article, they too were amazed and yet, none knew how to obtain it since it was in Japan.
Oh my, what a wonderful visit we had. Got to see the children, their pets. Papa Ferrell as they had been taught to call daddy from years gone by, helped pick out some chickens for their baby boy while talking with Mama Ferrell, which mama loved to the soul of her being (not having any grandchildren, these were special times for both my parents).
Prior to leaving to head back home the next morning, we had a grand opportunity to walking with our friends on the Naples Pier ... Oh dear, where did the time go ...?
We talked about that Atlanta, Ga's storm for years to come. It was the most powerful and yet, no one was injured ... not even a single wreck occurred ... it was a miracle!
Unknowing to us at that time, would to be the last photo taken of mama ... she passed the following month, May 24th, Memorial weekend . . . complications from her heart condition at the young age of sixty-seven.

I'm not so sure Today that my Mom had a part in heaven in helping bring these Japanese devices to America and to the World . . .
Mama loved her Lord, her Family, her Friends ... Mama was love!
Stay tune next week for, the Beginning of Alkaline Water News . . .!
