Angel Babies: And Other Amazing True Stories of Guardian Angels. Theresa Cheung

Чтение книги онлайн.

СКАЧАТЬ are all born with the ability to see angels but as we grow older we stop believing what we are seeing. Some of us do remember what we’ve seen, but some of us don’t. It’s a bit like dreaming. All of us dream but only some of us remember our dreams. Some people don’t think they dream at all, but they do. They just can’t remember.

      Babies can see angels as soon as they open their eyes, but until they are about three they can’t communicate well enough to let anyone know what they are seeing. And then they find out that their parents and teachers can’t see what they see. This can be a shock and can lead to self-doubt. Then there is a process that narrows their psychic gifts even more–let’s call it conditioning. This is when many children are told that an apple is red, an orange is orange, some things are real and some things, like angels and spirits, aren’t. Children are incredibly receptive at this stage and keen to please their parents, so if they are told often enough that what they are seeing isn’t real they will lose their ability to see, hear and sense angels.

      Instead of worrying or feeling anxious, parents should try to cherish the fact that their infant sees angels close by and should allow them to strengthen that special connection with the world of the invisible. It is a perfectly natural thing for babies to see people who were with them before they were born, or spirits who are about to be born into this world, or angels who are watching over them. After all, every baby is a miracle fresh from heaven.

      Unborn Angels

      ‘A baby is an angel whose wings decrease as their legs increase.’

      Author unknown

      In this chapter you’ll see that the special bond between babies and angels isn’t just created when they are born. It already exists in pregnancy and may even be there long before a child is born, conceived or even thought of by their parents. And if for some reason–abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth or some other misfortune–a baby dies in the womb or soon after birth, angels continue to watch over and protect that child in spirit.

      Angel Pregnancies

      Falling pregnant is one of the most amazing but also life-changing episodes in a woman’s life, so it is hardly surprising to me that so many letters and e-mails have come in regarding encounters with angels during this time. Having a baby is also potentially a period of spiritual growth for both mother and father, and angels always draw closer when they sense that a person is going through a period of great spiritual change and is in need of their support, reassurance and guidance.

      My mother always told me that about two months before I was born she saw an angel in her room. It had beautiful orange wings. Eventually it vanished into the bookcase–perhaps an early indication of my future career as a writer? My mother told me it was her guardian angel. We always used to laugh about the fact that it faded into the bookcase, but my mother said it was very real.

      Many stories have been sent to me by women who believe they met their guardian angel during pregnancy. Sometimes the angel appears in traditional form but in other instances it appears in the form of the spirit of a lost loved one. Gail told me about this visitation during her pregnancy:

      ‘I Wasn’t on my Own’

      Fifteen years ago I was pregnant with my daughter and was living alone in a flat in Leigh. I was very scared of the prospect of becoming a mum alone, but tried not to get stressed, as I had epilepsy and didn’t want to have a seizure. Anyway, I started to dream about this man with a goatie beard. I recognized the man: it was my dad. It was the first time I had ever dreamed about him and I had barely known him, as my parents divorced when I was six months old and then my dad died when I was four years old.

      Even stranger, one night I got up to use the bathroom and heard someone laughing in the living room. As I went in I saw my dad leaning on the TV just laughing. For about a week afterwards I could feel a presence in there, so I slept on the couch to see if he returned. He never did, but from that moment on I was so chilled out about having the baby. I asked my aunty, my dad’s sister, if he had ever had a goatie, as I didn’t have any photos of him with one, and she said he had had one a few years before he had married my mum. I told her what I had seen and she said she thought he was just letting me know that he was there and that I wasn’t on my own.

      Madison kindly took the time to write to me and tell me about a visit she had from an angel at the end of her pregnancy. But, as you’ll see, was this her guardian angel or was it someone else?

      Somewhere in Time

      I worked right up to the time my baby was due to be born. I own my own restaurant and I was scared that if I took my eye off the ball things would collapse. My due date came and went and my bag was packed for the hospital, but my baby didn’t want to budge. The midwife told me that if it didn’t come in the next week I would need to be induced.

      Three days before my induction I stayed late at the restaurant to make sure everything was in place for a big booking the following day. I was filling out some forms when I thought I heard someone come into my office. I looked up and saw a young girl of about 14 or 15 in a white dress. The dress was solid but also translucent. The girl was stunning and it seemed as if bright light was shooting out of her hair. I noticed that she had blonde hair with a fringe unsuccessfully covering a red mark on her forehead that looked like a scar. She smiled and pointed at my bump, saying, ‘Tomorrow’s the day.’

      Before I could ask her who she was or what she was talking about, she moved away and walked out of my office. Mesmerized, I followed her and saw her disappear into thin air. She seemed to glide, not walk.

      The following day my daughter was born. The birth wasn’t easy and forceps had to be used to pull her out. I was too exhausted to hold her right away, but later, when she was placed in my arms, I noticed that she looked a little battered and bruised and there was a deep gash on her forehead. Gently I placed my finger on it and the first words I whispered to her were, ‘We’ve met before, haven’t we?’

      My daughter is going to be 18 next year and she still has the faintest mark on her forehead. People say I’m crazy, but I just know she visited me in spirit the night before she was born. We’re incredibly close. From the moment I held her and saw the gash on her forehead, the strength of my love for her quite literally knocked me sideways. She looked so fragile and bruised, and although I had a nanny lined up, there was no way I was going to let anyone take care of her but me. I didn’t stop working, but I found a way to take her to work with me and hired extra help when life got crazy busy. It wasn’t easy juggling motherhood and work, but then nothing worth doing in life is.

      Anja also met her daughter before she was born. She sent me this lovely story:

      Brown Eyes

      I dreamed that I was standing with my boyfriend Liam in my apartment with a baby girl in my arms. Liam was right behind me looking at her over my right shoulder. We had made a bet on whose eyes she would have and were waiting for her to open her eyes to see who had won. Finally she opened them and I was moved in the deepest of ways, as her eyes were brown and looked exactly like mine.

      I had this dream a year before we decided we wanted children and about a month after it I was told by my doctor that due to polycystic ovaries I might not be able to have children. My little girl already knew better, though. I feel sure she visited me in my dream to tell me that I could have a baby and that she would have the same brown eyes as mine.

      Stories like these suggest that there may well be some kind of soul connection between a child and their parents before birth. Unborn children seem to have the ability to reach out across time and space.
