"John, a friend of mine, swears that his guardian angel saved his life when he was a kid.
"It happened when he was four years old. . . .

But all of a sudden, his fall was stopped. The way he describes it, it was as if someone was holding onto his ankle, keeping him from careening off the couch. . . .
