Last Wednesday, my granddaughter whom I'll call Lynn, took me by the hand to the front bedroom window. Pointing to the middle of an empty intersection with her tiny 20-month-old hand, she said, "Look!"
"Look at what?" I asked.
"Look at the angel!"
"You see an angel?"
"Yes. See it?"
Of course, I did not see an angel, but I didn't say anything. My silence gave my answer away and Lynn went back to playing in her room with her blocks.
On Thursday, Lynn again took me by the hand to the same window. Again she said, "Look at the angel! See her?"
"Her?" I said, "Oh. The angel is a she?"
"Yes. She's pretty. See her?"
Again, I did not answer directly but instead asked what color the angel was. I could see in Lynn's eyes that my question gave my answer away - I did not see the angel. She did not say anythng right away but on her way back to her room to resume her play, I heard Lynn say, "Purple."
On Friday, Lynn brought me to the window again. That time, she looked out the window and said, "No angel."
In a playful tone I said, "Oh!? Where did the angel go?"
Matter of factly, Lynn responded, "Angel go with Mama."
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Lynn's Mama is my daughter.
That evening, my daughter and her husband went to dinner at the home of another couple - friends from work.
As they left to come home later that night, when walking to their car, my daughter was hit and one of her legs was run over by an F250 pick-up truck driven by a drunk driver.
My son-in-law says that my daughter was screaming... Screaming obscenities as she got up off the ground and ran after the truck in an attempt to get a piece of the driver who hit her and drove off.
As the family listened and examined her body the next morning, some of us swore we could see a little bruising on her leg. Some of us could see nothing.
She says it really hurt when it happened and that the pain made her really mad. She claims that she's fine, now, though.
It couldn't be that the angel was really with her, could it? After all, if the angel that my 20-month-old granddaughter saw was really with her mother as my 20-month-old granddaughter claimed, she (the purple angel) wouldn't have allowed my daughter to get mad and curse, right?
