An Angel Came to Visit By Anna Lee

T’was the night before Christmas we were destined to bump into her at the grocery store and a Christmas miracle would there, unfold  ~ An angel came to visit ~

After the power came back, hubby and I rushed out to do some grocery shopping before the stores became crazy busy, being so close to Christmas and all ......and there we bumped into his niece....We hadn't seen Candice in a little over a year. She went on to tell us she moved out of her dad's house and on her own and also mentioned she'd visited with some relatives last Christmas, where she'd gotten hold of some family photos. Andy (my hubby) lost his only box of family photos to a basement flood shortly before he and his brothers sold the family house. I asked her to please send me the photos she had and sure enough they just arrived on e-mail.....

Pictures of his mom and dad, toasting around a Christmas tree.....Perfect!

So, for the time being, I printed one and framed it for my hunny ...And so the Christmas Miracle became …. Andy's mom passed on Christmas Eve so, this was even more...well, I'll use the word eerie, but an angel came back in the form of his niece to bring mom back into his life, if even just in the form of her picture...I'd never met her, but Andy looks just like her !

The kind of gift you can't put a price on, the kind of chance meeting you could have never planned and the picture by chance, around a Christmas tree, being so close to Christmas of the two dearest people..... and one of them coming back now, so close to the day she left…. Amen
