I met a girl when I was at university, she stayed in the same residence/dorm that I stayed in. We became really good friends, she was very interested in witchcraft, pageanism, reading tarot cards, palms etc. She also said that she is able to see a person's guardian angel/angels. I never believed in these kind of things. The one day out of curiosity I asked her to please tell me what my guardian angel looks like. She said to me that I have two, one that comes and goes as I maybe need him when i'm faced with different situations and one that is always there by me. She described the one that comes and goes as a tall man and the one that sticks with me as an old lady, with a very amazing smile, huge glasses and her arms have brown blodges all over them. She then asked me if the description sounds familiar, like one of my grandma's. I said to her no, the desription does not fit either of them.

After thinking about it for a couple of minutes I remembered this old lady whom use to babysit me after my mother picked me up from pre-school. My mom's a nurse and usually picked me up and dropped me off by the lady and my mom would then go back to work and fetch me again after work. The lady was really old, in her 70's allready. I told my friend that the description sounds like this lady that use to look after me. My friend then asked me to tell her more about the old lady. I told her about things I can remember that me and the lady use to do together. She taught me how to knit, how to do needle work, how to make tea, things like that. The weirdest thing then happened, I got goosebumps all over my body each time I told my friend one of the stories. My friend said it is her that is my guardian angel and the stories makes her excited and happy and that's where the goosebumps come from.

I couldn't believe what was happening and immediately phoned my mom and told her about what had just happened, she told me that she wouldn's be surprised if the old lady was my guardian angel since she loved me dearly.

A couple of days later, I was looking for something in my closet, and I've got a small wooden box on one of my shelves, I took it out to see what I keep in there, since I've had the box for a long time and anything small enough that I think/thought valuable I put in there. I opened the box and there was a couple of baby pictures of me in it, to my surprise, after looking through the pics there was a pic of the old lady. I called my friend to come and look and she told me that that is the lady that she saw, that is my guardian angel. You don't have to believe me, I had a hard time believing it myself!!! You are welcome to comment on the story, I would love to hear if someone else has had a similar experience.
