I do suppose that angels walk among us everyday. Whenever I'm in a crisis situation, someone usually shows up to assist me. Once, as I was taking my sister through the subway to her stop on her way to the bus station, there was quite a bit of construction going on. When we embraced and she boarded her bus, my three year old daughter and I waved our goodbyes and the bus took off.
When I turned to get back to the subway making stops on the way downtown, I realized we were turned around somehow. I didn't see any one else to ask for information. I was starting to panic as I looked around. I saw a few 'detour' signs. Which one to follow? I picked up my daughter and we were preparing to follow the first sign, when a very short, elderly woman stopped in front of me.
" I believe you're lost " she said. "Follow me and I'll get you back to your train. You want to go downtown. Is that right?" I said 'yes' and we followed the lady through a tunnel, then up, then down a few steps. Then we rounded a corner and went up the last flight of stairs to the subway going downtown. I was so grateful to that little lady! Thank you! I blurted out. But I did not see the woman. I asked my daughter if she had seen which way the little lady had gone. "No Mommy", my daughter said. She just disappeared". I didn't think any more about things until we reached home. Then. I thought, I didn't tell her we were trying to get downtown. She already knew that. And where did she disappear to? My little girl said it all. Mommy, she's an Earth Angel!
