Sabrina and Catherine were washing up breakfast dishes the next morning when Sabrina remembered to ask her about the mysterious lady from her childhood.
“Mother, I have been meaning to ask you something. When I was young, maybe around three or four, I remember this beautiful lady used to come and play with me. She had long light brown hair and the lightest green eyes I’ve ever seen. She always wore this white gown that swished when she walked and she never wore shoes; her name was Charlotte. Do you remember her? Was she a relative or a friend of yours perhaps?”
Catherine put down the dish towel she was using to dry dishes. Her brow was wrinkled in thought. “I don’t remember anyone like that, honey. Did she come to the house?”
Sabrina nodded. “Yes, she would come nearly every day and play with me and then one day she just stopped coming.”
Catherine shook her head. “I’m sorry; I just don’t remember her. Is that who you named Charlotte after?”
They walked over to the table and sat down. “Yes, when she turned out to be a girl instead of a boy, I wasn’t prepared. I hadn’t thought of any girl names at all, but I remembered this lady who was just so beautiful and graceful, and she was just the very image to me of what a lady should be. So I named her Charlotte after her and Marie after daddy’s mother.”
Her mother suddenly sat up in the chair. “I bet I know who you are talking about. You had an imaginary friend you called Lottie. I bet you anything that’s who you think you’re remembering. You used to draw pictures of Lottie and she did have a white dress on.”
Sabrina frowned. “No, I clearly remember seeing this woman. I wish I could draw because I remember every detail of her face. This is all so strange!”
Catherine chuckled. “Well, sweetheart, I wish I had a better answer for you, but if this lady came every day to my house and played with my child, I think I would have seen her and if she as beautiful as you describe I would have remembered her.”
Sabrina was silent for a moment. “What if you didn’t see her because you couldn’t see her?”
Catherine frowned at her. “What do you mean? Like a ghost?”
Sabrina laughed. “No, nothing as ominous as that. I was thinking more along the lines of a Guardian Angel?”
Her mother relaxed. “Oh, I suppose that’s possible. The Bible talks about Guardian Angels and I’ve heard somewhere that children and animals can see more into the spirit world than adults can. We should ask Evan about this. I’m honestly not real sure.”
Sabrina smiled. “That’s ok, Mother. I think I’ve gotten my answer after all.”
A couple of hours later Sabrina’s mother and Evan were getting ready to leave. Gideon found Sabrina and her mother in the guest room. Sabrina sat on the bed with Charlotte and watched while her mother packed.
