The Morning the Ocean Rose: What I Found in My Pocket Still Haunts Me

🍀 The Day Luck Took the Wheel: How a Clover Led Us Away from Disaster
A true story of instinct, survival, and the mysterious power of a small green charm.
On December 26, 2004, I was standing barefoot on a beach in Phuket 🇹🇭 with my 11-year-old son.
The sky was clear. The water warm. It felt like the perfect morning.
That’s the thing about fate - it often arrives when everything seems peaceful.
🌊 The Waves That Changed Everything
The first wave caught us by surprise, but it wasn’t overwhelming.
We held our ground. But the second wave came stronger, faster, and far more brutal.
We ran, trying to reach our hotel. The water caught up and swept us into a dark storage building.
I held my son close as the water kept rising…
In the middle of fear, I felt something small in my pocket.
🎁 A Gift I Almost Forgot About
It was a four-leaf clover charm 🍀 preserved in a clear case - something a close friend had given me just days before.
“Keep it with you,” she said. “You’ll know why one day.”
I wasn’t a believer in symbols.
But in that dark moment, surrounded by water, I reached for it…
And something shifted inside me.
We found a way out before the water touched the ceiling.
My foot was cut and bleeding, but I felt no pain.
I just felt focused. Alive.
🚗 One Split-Second Choice
We made it to our car. My wife looked at me:
“Which way should we go - left or right?”
Left meant town, hospitals, help.
But something in me said, “Go right.”
So we did.
Not 10 seconds later, a massive wave flooded the left road.
Cars disappeared. Entire families were lost.
If we had chosen left, we wouldn’t be here.
✨ Was It Luck... or Something More?
That night, safe in a small guesthouse down the right-hand road, I held the charm in my hand again.
It was wet, but intact.
Was it just a coincidence?
Or was it something unseen - something quiet - that helped guide me? 🍀
🧭 Some Charms Carry More Than Luck
We all face moments when logic has no answer.
Sometimes, we need something to remind us we’re protected. Watched over. Aligned.
The four-leaf clover I carry is more than a charm.
It’s a reminder that I’m still here.
And that’s not just luck - that’s grace.
