  It was an ordinary summer day when Dale Ostrander went to the beach with his church group. As his mother dropped him off, Dale, 12, made his customary sign of a heart for her, and she showed it back to him.

  A few hours later, her son was fighting for his life after being dragged under by a riptide off the shores of Washington. He spent an estimated 20 minutes under water in the chilly Pacific Ocean, and when rescuers pulled him out, he had no pulse and wasn't breathing. But, remarkably, Dale survived.
  

  In an interview with ABC News at Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup, Wash., Dale's parents, Chad and Kirsten Ostrander, say their son's survival is nothing short of a miracle.
  

  The family has started a blog for Dale at prayersfordale.blogspot.com.
