Then the unthinkable happened. “I was in the car when I heard something snap,” she said. “When I heard something snap, I jumped out the car and ran to my front door. As I ran to the front door, I look back. The tree was coming down. I was in that driver’s seat right there.”“God, you always took care of me,” said Ajim. “Always. He’s always here when I need him.”“You know, all the material things that I’ve lost right here doesn’t mean a thing to me,” she said. “I have me! I got out of that alive.
