Once in our life we will meet some people that are so special. These special people will help us… inspired us… guide us… motivate us… Some people may call them special some one… named them best friend… special friend… but for me I call them angels…
When I was a child, my mama told me that every kids are given one special angel that will protect, guide and cheer them up. They came down from Heaven and they cannot be seen… but you will realized that they exist. I did not believe to what mama told me until one day… I met her…
I was studying in Little Muppet (a preparatory-school) before. I met lot of kids as expected and as what my bother and my parents told me. But one thing that i did not expect to meet is my first angel.
It was the end of the school year, i was given a "kalabasa" for having low grades. Well what can you expect from me all I want that time is to play and make friends. When it was time to get the requirements from the school, our yaya (my parents hired one for my brother and I) brought me with her in getting the requirements. She talked to my teacher while I wait in the swing. A teenager approached me and asked me for my name, but since I am a timid and shy person, I ignored her. If i’m not mistaken the teenager is pretty, so pretty that later on she got my attention.
As the teenager got my attention, she tell me stories about God, how God can make miracles and how can He fulfill your whishes. I have lot of whishes before, and I liked it to be fulfilled. One of those wishes is to have lot of toys. So I asked the teenager (I called her "ate") how can I make a wish. She told me that it is really simple. First is to make the sign of the cross, close your eyes, then think about God and make your wish. Tell God everything you want and He will fulfill it with His power. I was so amazed that I asked more about God, and she tell me more. It was the first time that I have the longest conversation in my life.
As we are talking a man approached us and asked the teenager to go with him. I tried to stop the teenager from leaving me but she promised me to return. Believing that she will return, I let her go. She informed my teacher (the teenager’s mother) that she is leaving and will be back soon. But as time passed by I never had a chance to see her again.
Our yaya and I left the school with a question in my mind. When will i met this teenager again?
That night i tried what the teenager told me but after a couple of days it was not fulfilled. I was almost starting to loose my faith until papa got home bringing a box with lot of different soap inside. Papa told me and my brother to open up the box of soaps for him cause he is so tired to do it. We did what papa wanted us to do and with a big surprise I’ve seen four matchbox cars. I was so happy that time but it was only the beggining. Each day papa brought boxes of soap and surprsing again it got toys inside. That is the time I realized that my prayer is fulfilled and my faith started to strenghten.
When I was in grade school, I have heard my classmates talking about angels. I joined the conversation and told them that I have met my angel. They did not believe me, well i can’t blame them for not realizing that angels are just around them.
It was the last time that I have seen and talked to that teenager. I tried looking for her but she is no where to be found… Yes, it was the first and the last that I talked to her… But I did not know that I will meet another angel…
