I received this from my dear friend Liz tonight. I love the idea that Tikva and I are each other's angels... eternal.
A baby 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 said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.'
The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.' God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.'
Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?' God said, '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.'
'Who will protect me?' God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.'
'But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.' God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you.'
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.'
God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'

Wow, just wow. That brought tears to my eyes to think of our angels talking to God like that.
I love this story so much. Thank you for sharing it. Does it have an author, or a location that I might be able to find it elsewhere?
I have been reading through your blog. I came to it via your husband's site, which I found through the Glow in the Woods ladies. He and I will both be participating in their "religion roundup" so to speak. I am simply speechless, and heartbroken, and mesmerized by the images of your beautiful Tikva. I am so sorry she did not get to stay with you. My own angels (and, indeed, love is eternal) came to us and left us almost five years ago now. Our twin son and daughter, Joseph and Molly, were born very prematurely and both died the same day they were born. I have never been sorry they came to me. I have always felt I was the right mother for them, even when it was so painful to be just that. I sense that you feel the same way about Tikva.
I wish you peace... deep, abiding peace.
