Veteran
singer-songwriter
&
actress
Dolly
Parton
reveals
that
she
and
her
family
could
have
died
and
almost
"froze
to
death" inside
their
house
after
a
heavy
shower
of
show
over
Great
Smoky
Mountains.
She
added,
it
was
a
miracle
that
they
ultimately
survived.
"We
lived
way
back
in
the
mountains,
and
we
had
boarded
up
our
windows
to
keep
the
snow
and
wind
out,
and
had
no
idea
it
was
going
to
snow
like
that.
We
got
trapped
in
there.
We
thought
we
were
going
to
die
and
our
little
tears
were
frozen
on
our
little
faces." said
Dolly.
"We
were
frozen,
no
fire,
no
food,
no
nothing.
And
so
it
had
to
have
been
prayer
that
melted
the
snow
around
us
and
got
us
out
of
there.
That's
kind
of
like
our
Christmas
miracle."
She
added.
Dolly
Parton
also
said
that
it
probably
due
to
her
mother's
faith
and
prayer
to
God
that
had
saved
them.
She
said
her
mother
was
a
very
spiritual
person
and
she
could
sense
if
something
bad
or
good
is
going
to
happen.
"Momma
had
a
lot
of
faith,
Momma
had
those
visions
and
dreams
that
she
sensed
something
was
going
to
happen,
but
because
of
her
great
faith,
she
prayed
us
through,"
Parton
added
further.
