Something found me after a car accident and I don't know what it was.

During our drive home from a family trip our car hit black ice on a curve that sent us rolling. That day I didn't wear my seatbelt I was ejected out the car by breaking through my window using my face as a ram. From my perspective: One second I'm in a car next thing I know I'm laying in some bushes. I try getting up but I'm stopped by an intense pain in my shoulder (broke my collar bone). Honestly, I don't know if I passed out or just went to sleep but at this point I lost consciousness. After an unknown amount of time to me, through my closed eyes I can see a flash light shine over me(it was 3 am). My dad found me, lifted me to my feet with ease and pushed me towards where the totaled car and my family was. A distinct detail I remember about this moment is how firm the hands were.

The unexplainable part. After talking to my brother I realized something. My dad never actually went looking for me. My mom was badly damaged and no one had no idea what happened to me. They actually assumed the worst and thought I was dead, under the car. We didn't even have a flash light. I don't know who/what found me lying there, but something did. I distinctly remember the light shining over me before firm strong hands lifted me up like I was paper. Before talking about it I always just assumed it had been my dad. I post this every now and then just kinda hoping an answer finds it. My collar bone healed so it's protruding a bit, it's stuck as a permanent reminder of that day.

Authors Note: I think this has to be my favourite one yet....
