.....can be sent down from above to look after us on earth?
To love us and nurture us and bring us through rough times in our lives and just generally be there for us?
I don't mean an actual Angel sent down from wherever. What I mean is someone sent to us from the spirits above. Someone they sort of pick out from the crowds and send our direction?
I believe so. I have such an Angel. Now if you don't like full on romantic gestures by people about their loved ones I would switch off now because that is exactly what this is.
My Angel is Jo. 2 Years ago I didn't even know she existed. She lived in a different country for God's sake. We met. We became friends and very quickly we became best friends. She had a life in a different country from me. She gave it all up and moved to my country to be with me. She had an awful mountain to climb. Didn't understand a lot of the accents and a lot of what people were saying. Had to start afresh. Get a job. Settle down. Get used to very new surroundings. She did it and did it with a passion and such a desire to succeed that I've never seen before. Sometimes i still wonder why she did that because to be honest I don't see myself as that wonderful a person that someone would give their life up for me.
Anyway - she saved me. I genuinely believe that. Saved me from all sorts of things. Ghosts from my past - some ghosts that transpired as we were beginning our journey. She dispelled them all. I am a different person today because of her.
Recently we moved again. Back to where she came from originally. Now it's all totally different for me. I'm in the situation she was in 2 years ago. Now the same determination and drive Jo showed all that time ago has come out again. This time she is using it all to pull me through once again. I'm doing ok here. At least I think I am. It's all new to me now. New job - new surroundings - new people. All strange. But the same drive to succeed is being passed to me now. My confidence is growing and things are feeling more natural and I know Ill succeed at everything I do.
The reason I know I'll succeed is because I have my Angel by my side.
To Jo - I can never ever put into words how I feel about you and what you have done for me. You know I try and you know that face to face I fail miserably sometimes.
You are my best friend. My soulmate. My everything. There isn't a word invented yet that I know of to truely describe what you mean to me. Everything about you - and I mean everything - is perfect. I have so many things I need to thank you for but it all comes down to one thing - thank you for being you! You are what is important. You are what matters. You are what I fell in love with and still feel that love getting stronger and stronger each and every day. I have never in my life known a feeling like it. My heart melts everytime I see you. Everytime I hear your voice. Everytime I read your words.
I'll finsh my blog with this - I love you Jo and always will until the last breath leaves my body. I'll protect you and help you do anything I possibly can for you every single second I can.
So the moral of the story ladies and gentlemen is get yourself an Angel if you haven't already.
I just hope you are as lucky as me when your Angel comes.
