This little crystal angel was given to me by my sweet Doula when I was pregnant with Jane. I had it right next to my bed during her birth. Then a month before I had William I rediscovered my little angel. It gave me a smile to think I'd have my little guardian angel again by my bed to remind me I had angels watching over my baby boy and me. Birth is an amazing and difficult journey and a mother really does need angels, from earth and heaven watching over her. When William was 10 days late this little angel was a beautiful symbol to me. It made me think a lot about the angel I was bringing to this earth as well! That so soon he would be departing from his heavenly comfort and I would have a son born into this world. Babies truly are angels!
Well, now I have a dear friend who is awaiting the arrival of her baby angel. Similarly her little ones also taking its time to make its entrance into this world. She patiently waits, as I did, for the day of birth she's long been awaiting. As she's gone over the expected time I felt it was time to pass my little guardian angel on to watch over her in these last days of pregnancy and to lift her as she gives birth. It was a special moment to pass on my sweet angel friend.
I believe in heaven and in a God that loves us. I know that there are angels who watch over us and give us strength, courage and comfort. How grateful I am for angels.
