Siobhan has heard all my angel stories linked to my friend Angie and the best part is that she believes me. Some people won't believe the stories when I put them out here for all the world to see, but Siobhan believes me.
On the night that Angie was diagnosed with cancer, a blue mist came to me in a dream. In my dream, I knew that it wasn't just a blue mist, it was an angel. I tried to reach out and touch it and I talked to it and told it to "go to Angie." It was a vivid dream. The next morning I began retelling the dream to John. He just smiled and said, "I lived that dream with you last night. I heard you talking. I saw you reaching up. But I couldn't see what you were seeing."
A day or two later, I told Angie about my angel visit. I asked her what she thought. She said, "Don't you doubt this! Of course it was an angel and it was sent to comfort us."
Angie went with me to visit the monastery one day and we visited with Sister Mary who is a cancer survivor. When we walked into her room, both of stopped and stared at the window. In the window was a beautiful stained glass blue angel. Angie and I knew we were in the right place.
I read online later that a blue angel represents healing. That gave us great comfort during the journey.
I wasn't sure if the angel was male or female, but later it revealed the answer to that question via a song. The blue mist appeared again and this time SHE sang to me. I can't remember many of the words, but I do remember one phrase and the music "God is close to the brokenhearted."
The next morning I told John and I sang the phrase to him. He smiled again and said, "I've already heard this, you sang with her for a long time last night." I didn't see the angel for a long time after she sang to me.
When Angie began fading from us, I would sing, pray and read to her. I sang that little melody to her. I also asked her to send the angel to visit me if she ever saw her.
Angie faded from us at 3:17 on Monday morning, Feb. 4. On Tuesday night, Feb. 5th the angel appeared to me again.
This time she had a body and hair and a face, but it was all very blurry with no specific details. Her clothing was blue just as before. But this time she appeared in a side view and while I was gazing at her, she turned a wee bit and unfurled and fluffed her angels so I could see the glory of them in their completeness. It was quite a sight. One I shall never forget. In fact, it looked very much like the image on the angel necklace. I'm not surprised.
My friend wasn't healed on this side of heaven as I begged God to do. Instead she is resting cancer free now on the other side of eternity. I don't understand why He didn't heal her here. I will never understand that. But He knows best. I have faith in that.
But this I know. An angel visited with me in my dreams during a time I have needed comfort from God. I believe it, Angie believed it and Siobhan believes it too.
So today I took my angel pendant to the jewelry store and they are engraving the back of it for me.
It will read:
dlúthchairde
That means "Best Friends" in Gaelic.
Underneath that it will say "Angie and Kelley"
I miss my friend.
