The Little Boy Who Lived and Not Died : Part 1 of 3

caramoorOne Sunday morning after leaving church in Yonkers, N.Y. with my children, David 10 and Christina 6 and my mom Honey, we headed to Katonah, N.Y., a town near our home, where they were having a Caramoor festival at a famous local museum.

We were given special tickets by a friend of the family who thought the kids would enjoy going.  As we arrived we were greeted with dressed up jesters popping out from behind old oak trees. People all around us were dressed in medieval costumes and masks running and dancing around the festival.

We started to walk around to get comfortable, when David turned to us and said, “Can we go? This place is creepy and I don’t like it.”

He was right.  It was filled with darkness and evil spirits as these people were deep into magic. We hadn’t any idea it would be like that.  So we left – immediately.

We decided to go get something to eat at a dinner in Mt. Kisco, NY that the kids loved. It was getting late in the afternoon and we had missed both breakfast and lunch and the kids were very hungry.  I was happy not to stay at the festival as it made me uncomfortable and David knew there was something evil about that place. I was pleased that he was sensitive to this even though he was young and it was obviously fun to a lot of other kids.

We decided to use a new highway to drive back home, which was more like a turnpike, called Route 287.  We no sooner entered it, when a car came flying by so fast, I could just about see the car itself. David saw it had Vermont plates on it as  he collected license plates. Immediatelyam following was an ambulance.  We instantly knew it was headed toward our hometown in Mt. Kisco, NY, where there was the only nearby hospital called Northern Westchester Hospital.

David said “Mom, can we follow that ambulance?”

This was something we never did but somehow we all had the unction to do so.

Honey said  “These people must be from out of town, and seem to be having some kind of emergency.”

I added, “We should go comfort and pray for them and see if we can be of any help to them.”
