Angels Among Us
I am not a writer. Just a person with a small story to tell, actually two stories about angels. My friend lost her husband. Needless to say she was beside herself with grief. One night she was having trouble sleeping when her husband visited her. She asked him to lie down with her and he did. She fell into a deep, peaceful sleep and when she awoke the next morning she was clutching a dime in her hand. Well, she did not get up in the middle of the night and put a dime in her hand - proof her husband had indeed visited her that night. The second story is about my cousin, Rowena. She was about to go into the hospital for surgery, so I said I must call her at home before she leaves for St. John's. When she answered the phone I was surprised to find she was already in St. John's because she had to go in early for a COVID-19 test before her surgery. Actually, she and her husband, Clyde, were walking along Water Street at the time of the call. We were talking away when she said, "Clyde, there's a dime on the ground. Pick it up." I said, "yes, pick it up my dear, that's your angel mother letting you know she'll be with you during your surgery." Then I told her my friend's story. She had never heard about the dimes appearing meaning angels visiting. She put it in her pocket and wanted to take it into the operating room with her, but that was not allowed. When she awoke from the anesthetic, the first thing she asked for was her dime. She certainly believed her mother was with her that day during her five hour surgery. After she went home, I called to check on her and asked if she still had her dime She said she certainly did - it was on her nightstand and she would never part with it. Those are two examples of angels among us. As for me, I truly believe! Submitted By: NULL
