An Angel called MOMMY

Once upon a time, there was a baby ready to be born.

So one day the baby asked God, “You are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there, being so small and helpless?”

God said, “Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and she will take care of you.”

The baby said, “But here in Heaven, I don’t do anything else but sing and smile. That’s enough for me to be happy.”

“Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and be happy.”

“And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don’t know their language?”

“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?”

“Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.”

“I'm afraid of this unknown world ... Who will protect me?”

“Do not worry! Your angel will defend you, even if it means risking her life. Your angel will watch over you, guide you and protect you whenever you need her - when you are having a hard time, when you are sad, when you are falling, when you are at a crossroads... She will keep you from troubles and navigate you through life. She will love you and believe in you, even if the whole world confronts you. She will never let you down or betray you. The only one on the earth!

I will always be next to you, too…

At that moment, there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard, and the little baby asked softly, “Oh, God, please tell me my angel’s name.”

God said, “Your angel’s name is a matter of no importance.

But you will call her "MOMMY"
