Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So one day the child asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God replied,"Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you
and will take care of you."
"But tell me,.... here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile. That's
enough for me to be happy."
God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And
you will feel your angel's love and be happy."
"And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know
the language that human's talk?"
"Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and
with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to
pray."
"I've heard that on earth there are bad people, Who will protect me?"
"Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see YOU, any more."
"Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to
come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."
At the moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be
heard, and the child, in a hurry, asked softly, "Oh God, if I am about to leave now,
please tell me my angel's name."
God silenced all fear when He said, "You will have angels from Heaven with you
always while you are on earth. You will not always be able to see them, but they
will be there for you. I have seen to that. They will do all the things I have
told you they will do for you while you are living on earth. You will, also,
have someone else very special there when you arrive. That someone will be the
first person you see and is there to assist the angels in helping you while you are on
earth. Therefore, your angel's name is of no importance.
You will simply call her "Mom".
