My Grandmother and My Dad

My grandmother was booked to cruise on the Titanic but she canceled suddenly, and my father while serving in the military was shot in the back by the enemy, but a can of peaches in his backpack took the bullet and saved his life most likely. Was it divine intervention or were they both just simply lucky? In any event I find both events to be extremely spooky. Had either one of them died, I would have never come to be. I love and miss both of you. Rest Peacefully.
