CHAPTER 5

The Journey of Life

Beside each person who’s born on earth

A guardian angel takes its stand to guide him

through life’s mysteries.

Menander of Athens

Angels: does it matter what form they take, if we believe that we have encountered one? As a feeling, an insight, in a dream, seeing them shimmering in the darkness, glowing in radiant white robes with a vitality not of this world or in the guise of cloud, a song, a picture, a hug, a meaningful coincidence or the actions of a kind stranger. However they appear, does it really matter as long as angel encounters bring with them an awareness of the life-transforming truth that whatever our age, background and circumstances in this life we are never alone?

An angel walks beside us and loves us in every age and stage of our lives and in this chapter, fittingly the longest chapter in the book because it will take you on a journey from cradle to beyond the grave, you’ll see that miracles can happen at any stage in a person’s life, from conception – and sometimes even before that – through baby- and childhood, into teenage and adult life towards old age and the very end, and for ever after that.

I’d like to get things started with Janet’s intriguing story.

A knock on the door

I’d been trying for five years to get pregnant and my fortieth birthday was fast approaching. I’d tried everything conventional and alternative medicine could offer – had two rounds of IVF – and still no success. All I had ever wanted was to be a mother. Even as a little girl I used to rock my little sister and sing her to sleep. I was the most sought-after babysitter with my friends but now I wanted to have a baby myself. Trouble was, we were running out of money and I had just started what we had agreed would be our last course of treatment. To say I felt anxious was an understatement.

Anyway, it was the night before I would find out the results and I just couldn’t settle at all. I longed for good news but in my mind I was convinced that I was never going to be a mother and for the first time I’d seriously discussed the possibility of adoption with Simon, my partner. That hadn’t really given me the comfort I thought it would because even though he didn’t say it I could tell that he was only doing it to make me happy – if he had a choice he would prefer not to adopt because what he really wanted was his own child. Perhaps he would tire of it all and find another
