Thank God My Guardian Angel Was Awake

  Thank God, my guardian angel was awake.

 

Although I am not a very organized person, life has treated me really well. I‘ve been working in what I like. I have a husband and daughters who love me and respect me a lot. I have qualities and flaws like any ordinary person. Despite being inattentive sometimes, I fell as if someone draws unexpectedly me out of a trouble I can be involved in.

 

 

A couple of days ago I went through an experience of fear, anxiety and relief at the same time. My husband and I bought an under construction family beach house. As

the construction  was over I contracted some workers-a cabinet-maker for the assembling of bed rooms and kitchen’s closets, an electrician, a wall painter, a gardener-to let the house like I had drawn ,once I work as interior decorator .

 

 

It was in the middle of Wednesday morning when the condominium caretaker called me. He wanted to inform that the bedroom and kitchen’s closets were almost ready and if it would be possible to me to go there to check the work done. Therefore, I decided to go to Juquehy right after I turned the telephone off. I asked my nice house secretary Maria to go with me as a companion, once I would not like to drive alone on a road.

 

 

I took all important material  to check the work it was done there- some drawings I had made, a tape measure, pencils etc. I put everything together in a bag , took my wallet and. After having filled up the tank, Maria and I headed toward the road.

 

 

We were having a nice trip until we reached the toll. Maybe I should have been absent-minded for a moment resulting my doubt seconds before I took the “sem parar” line. The car shook a little and because of that action , right after going through the toll, a road-policeman signaled me to stop the car. I stopped it very confident of myself, once I was driving in a correct way ant there was nothing wrong with the car, as well.

 

 

As I lowered the car window, the policeman approached my vehicle, asking me for my car’s license and right after for my driver’s license plate, as well. Meanwhile I was looking for my driver’s license I explained him I was in doubt  before passing the toll as a result of my forgetfulness about the fact that I had a “passé facil’  installed in my car.

 

 

Minutes passed . The man outside my car waiting while I looked for my drive license .I started panic. I explained to him that my driver’s license ought to have been found anyplace there .That I hadn’t known what could be happen to the driver’s license not to be in my wallet, my hand bag, anywhere there. Maybe I had forgotten it at home without noticed it, I explained,  asking him if I could ask someone ,my sister or my secretary for example, to try to bring a copy or even my document  plate .I supposed it had been forgotten by me  in some place at home.

   Maybe trying to help me, he asked me if the person at my side was a driver, as well. Maria unfortunately isn’t a driver and wouldn’t have a driver’s license, for sure. I replied she wasn’t a driver, unfortunately. He said to me not to panic, he would see something at the office nearby and would come back right after.

  

   Immediately I started to call everybody I thought could bring the document to me. My sister calmed me down telling me she could come  to bring the document to me. Meanwhile my husband’s secretary was trying to do the same.

 

    A few minutes later , the police came to me again. My expectancy was to get a big ticket to pay, or even some paper to have my car rescued, but not. He looked at me and said to me not to be worried that I could go, afterward he gave me back the car’s document plate. I misunderstood and asked him clearly if I could go away. He answered   affirmatively without asking me for any money. He didn’t look like he would have been open to accept some easy money, maybe taking advantage of the situation .

 

   I looked at Maria, Maria looked at me and without any extra word I thanked him and went out of there, not heading forward to the shore, though. I took then the first returning to Sao Paulo, through which I thought, would be safer once I was without my driver’s license plate and more, without my ID document plate, as well. Moreover it  would  be better not to be stopped by any police man again once some other person would be not so polite as that one. How irresponsible I was not to checking all my documents before going out of home, mainly as a driver, I said to myself.

 

    Driving back home I figured it out why the police man hadn’t given me a ticket.

Why he just told me to go on with my trip, once he could take advantage of a driver, who might pay him some money on the side to be let go on with my trip.  Would my drive license number be written in any document plate of mine found  the time the policeman searched for the truthfulness of my car document(question mark)Maybe the police man himself was a polite man and that’s all.

 

    Our adventure took about two hours .As a result  of the long distance until we had found the returning  signal on the road  to go back forward to town .Furthermore, in Sao Paulo  ,because of the terrible traffic that morning  had store for us. Time enough to had arrived in Juquehy, our  goal that day.

 

    Arriving home I looked everywhere for my driver’s license which, for my surprise, was  on my bed-room table . It popped in my mind the time I bought a wedding gift through my computer.  I used my driver’s license document to get the ID and cpf number it was asked for . After all I felt myself  safe and luck of not having had big troubles because of my disorder and forgetfulness.  

 

    I will not forget how polite and comprehensive this road police man was that morning  for a long time .  I will be grateful for the advance in computer communication we’ve been having in the World, as well, once I suppose it should have helped me this time by showing other documents plate of mine through it. Finally, I can’t forget the protection I’ve been having in my life. Maybe my guardian angel was awake and helped me that morning.

    I thanked God my guardian angel was awake.
