The Stranger that saved my life 

In the summer of 1980, about 7 months after Jim Waller (my stepfather) was murdered, I travelled with Dale (Bill Sampson's widow) to her home town in Delaware.  At one point I was on the beach.  I was in the water feeling angry, upset and other feelings.  I was pounding the waves as they came at me with a feeling that I wanted to be with Jim Waller.  While I don’t think there was a conscious committed suicidal action, I got caught up in the waves.  There was a period of nothingness.  I just didn't feel anything.  Then, at some point, I popped up out of the water and I saw the Sandy Beach very far away.  I think that I yelled help, but all I could do is try to stay above the water. I wasn't filled with much or any thoughts.  At one point, a stranger, man, pulled out of the water and brought me to the beach.  I don't remember much of anything else about that experience.  If my memory is accurate, there was a woman with him.  And I think I heard someone, maybe my mother mention that Dale was glad that I was ok and felt bad for what happened.
