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 everyday.
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.
"I've heard that on Earth there are bad men. Who will
protect me?"
God said,
"Your angel will defend
you even if it means risking it's 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."
"Her name is not
important.
You will simply call
her
Mom."
M is for the many sacrifices you made for
me.
O is for the only one who could always make
me feel better.
T is for your tender
heart.
H is for your reassuring
hugs.
E is for all the effort you put
into raising me.
R is for the
mutual respect we now have for each other.
