few people know my attachment and belief in angels. I have always felt strongly that they are part of my life, watch over me, guide me, protect me ... you know, angel duties. I have a few personal angels that are special.
driving home tonight, K gal and I are chatting. Loads of puffy clouds in the sky (clearly prompting her to think of angels as we have discussed their innate ability to jump from cloud to cloud with ease ...) and the conversation went like this:
"mom, when angels fly, can they fly anywhere?"
"yep, pretty much anywhere they want to .. wide open up there"
"so, from city to city and state to state?"
"yep, all over, even country to country - France, Italy, China, Spain"
"even to Texas?!" :)
"yep, even that enormous place, Texas"
"do they go really fast, like faster than a plane?"
"I am sure they can go as fast or slow as they want, but sure, fast would be fun, wouldn't it?"
"yeah ..." pause ....pause .... pause ..... "so, mom, once you're an angel, you get to stay there forever, right?"
"well, as far as I know you do, K"
"will I get to fly with all the angels?"
{choke up} "yes, when you are really old, like 110, you can be an angel and fly with all of them"
:O)
Man, I love this kid.

Oh Karin! I get like that, too, when my kids say something like that. Most recently it was Molly who said she missed {my dad} and she wanted to see him.
But anyway, what a neat, neat conversation to have had, and you know, I loved your answers. I'm glad you shared!
