The Detour<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After Kathy Burgess went through a rough year, including losing her close friend to <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/living-with-cancer\/she-struggled-to-share-news-of-her-cancer-diagnosis\/\">breast cancer<\/a>, Kathy decided it was time for a chance of scenery. She, her husband, and two sons packed up the car for a cross-country road trip. However, they only got two days into their journey when white smoke began to billow from the engine. Their car was towed to a nearby mechanic. As they hopped out of the tow truck, Kathy spotted a playground at the fast-food restaurant next door. \u201cI\u2019ll take the kids there for a diversion,\u201d she told her husband. <\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/angels\/the-vacation-disaster-that-renewed-her-faith\/\">Learn about who Kathy meets on their detour and how she received the exact message she needed to hear. <\/a> <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>2.

It felt so urgent and powerful. In it she\u2019d seen a woman. She was about 70 years old, with white hair, smile lines and kind blue eyes. \u201cHe needs to move on,\u201d the woman said. \u201cMy son needs to let me go.\u201d Cynthia felt like she had to deliver the message. But who was the woman\u2019s son?

Connecting Flight<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mary-Ann Kordoski was going to miss her flight. She\u2019d just learned that her 44-year-old daughter, Laurie, had died from a <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/addiction-and-recovery\/addiction-claimed-her-sons-life-but-not-his\/\">heroin overdose<\/a>. Mary-Ann was desperate to get to her family in New York. After her original flight was delayed, she learned there was another flight to New York leaving in five minutes. She stood at the departures board, unable to find her flight, overwhelmed and heartbroken. Suddenly a man approached her. He looked familiar. \u201cHi, Mary-Ann!\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s me, Eric.

She laughed at her mistake and brought the tiny hat to her work at a children\u2019s hospital the next day to show her coworkers. Mandy stuck the hat in her desk drawer and forgot about it. Until a few days later when a four-year-old girl came in for an echocardiogram. She was wearing a knit cap to cover the hair loss from her leukemia treatment and clutched a baby doll in her arms\u2026 <\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/how-a-dolls-hat-encouraged-her-to-continue-helping-patients\/\">Read how Mandy\u2019s knitted hat became a miracle, one that returned to her in an unexpected way years later.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>5.
