How Sweet Is This.....

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."

"You will simply call her, "Mom."

I really was touched by this, because that is how I look at my Mom (and Dad). They have taught me to live by God and he is a huge part of my life. Without their guidance and love, I would not be the person that I am today. Thank you Mom & Dad, I love you!

I'm feeling mushy! I don't know what came over me, but that really hit a soft spot!

I've seen this before - it always puts a lump in my throat. Especially now that I have a little one of my own :)

Thanks for posting it - it never gets old :)
