- Think back to your earliest, most vivid memory. For me, i was five years old and trapped.#
- Almost peacefully quiet, yet cold. Without any sound. i was stuck and didn't know what had happened. A second ago I was tunneling a hole in a huge snow drift on the front sidewalk of our house. It was like being swept over by a big wave at the beach. Only this was cold and not moving off of me. Everything was silent and white. Then it all went dark. I awoke with my mom staring down at me yelling my name. She had to "bribe" me to go to the hospital. I was scared to go there. She promised me a mickey mouse watch that someone had shown at show and tell the past week. #
- It wasn't until much later did I learn how she got me out of that drift. She was inside and felt a shock. David wasn't in the back yard where he normally plays. Looking around she had a feeling something was wrong and that I had gone to the front yard. Without any shoes she ran outside yelling my name. She got nearby neighbors' attention and they started poking holes in the snow with the handle side of their shovels. The snow drifts were at least six feet deep. #
- Then they found me and dug me out. Someone called 911. I was unconscious at first, but woke after she yelled my name several times. She had to bribe me to get me to go in the ambulance. #
- Not sure#
- Even years later I learned the plow driver was haunted by this acccident. My mom told me she had talked with him.#
