ANGEL come into your life in human form and you don't realize it until much later.

I have. Twice.

I had my first depression in 9th grade. I didn't realize that it was that at the time. This was the early 70's. It was so bad I never went back to high school.
About two years into the episode, I became reclusive, lonely, and I thought I was some kind of monster.

On day this little girl, she was about 7. She knocked on the door and I answered. She had this huge smile. She said I am Angela, I go to your father's church can I come in. I said sure, she came in and gave me this huge hug. She said do you have a sister, no I said. She said I don't either, can I be yours. I said why not.

From that moment on she came over every day. My memory is bad, but she is still my 'sister' and best friend today. She says I taught her yoga and we went on picnics in the woods in the neighborhood. I wasn't getting any medication, but I know it was Angela's unconditional love that pulled me out of that depression.

The second time was in the ER. I had taken too much of one of my meds. My husband didn't want to drive me. I took a cab. Waiting to be seen there was this Woman in her sixties sitting next to me. She started to talk to me. When she found out why I was there she became like a mother. She made sure I was seen right away, went into my ER room with me. I found out her name was Barbara Anne, that was my mother's name. She stayed till early into the morning and came to the medical floor with me. Her last name was Sojourner, which means traveler. As she came into my life, she left. I know that was mother's spirit in her.

My Angela, is very busy right now and hasn't had time for me. I pray every day for another Angel. I think it is the only thing that will save me.

That is a sweet story, i hope u continue to have Angela's in your path. they come and go as you need them. Some more tangible then others.
In my experience i know for a fact i ran across a literal angel.
At 15 My mother asked me to back up my sister's blue Chevy nova ( i don't know why i feel compelled to share the make and model, i just do ) anyways, I said yeah sure I could back up her car (mind you I had never driven a car what so ever, and had no clue that a car can move even if you are not accelerating it), so as i put car in reverse to back it up, it started moving backwards of course, but i was baffled that it was moving when i had not accelerated it, and sent me into a frozen panicked state of shock, where i had no control over any thing, myself, the car, nothing.
I careened diagonally across 4 lanes of oncoming rush hour traffic on the busy highway we lived on.
Not a single car hit me, and after car coming to a complete stop after the car hit a small brick wall to a person's garden, and almost taking out a old man with it, the old man was very jolly as he jumped out of the way of the car, he was laughing hysterically, and tried to calm me down. By the time my mother( who was morbidly obese and had physical handicaps, came almost running across traffic) got to where the car had finally stopped, the man was no where in sight, she never saw him, no one saw him, i didn't even see him walk away.
So i am convinced he was an angel guide for me, as what jolly old men laughs at almost being pinned down by a car?
So again to reiterate our Angela's, tangible or not come and go in our lives, and to appreciate them while they are around, and not take life's little treasures for granted.
Good luck on meeting up with another Angela someday.
