I proceeded to wade through the swollen waters of the river, and was quickly knocked off my feet, and began the terrifying and panic-stricken process of drowning.
The process of 'now you see me, now you don't' dance of death, as I was swept downstream.
Fortunately, this caring and courageous woman, who might have had her eye on me, and thinking that I would not enter the swiftly flowing waters.
Must have looked around just in time, and noticed that I had disappeared. If she had shouted to me not to enter the river, I cannot recall.
And now, with me having suddenly disappeared, and looking downstream, she must have seen me flailing about, and rushed to my rescue.
Removing me from a near death situation, she took me to my shocked mother.
Who has since related to me how my near tragic demise came to have been.
I do not recall the details of what took place after I was rescued.
But it is due to the quick thinking and courage of this lady, Mrs Doris Rose, who has now passed on, peace be upon her, that I am able to be here recounting this event.
And, indeed, impacting upon the life of all those whom I have impacted upon, both directly and indirectly.
To be continued!
