I had a childhood friend, or should I say classmate. We went to Grammar School together; it was a small Catholic school attended by both girls and boys... the school was from 1st to 8th grade. Anyway, my friend and I went on to seperate High Schools and I hadn't seen him much anymore.

He attended a concert at the age of 16 with a few other friends and on the way home one fateful night he they had an accident and he died at the scene. I was devasted when I heard the news.

I am 45 years old and happily married. For many years he would enter my dreams on a constant basis. My father passed away when I was 25, as well as other friends and loved ones that I was extremely close with. Not once have I dreamt of them... not even my beloved father. This has been going on for 30 years.

Until last March when an old boyfriend I dearly loved and lived with for 6 years back in the 80's passed away at the age of 49. He was married with a beautiful wife and 2 children... Now he enters my dreams.

I think that when we are hit with such devastation of these losses it makes a mark in our hearts. But I truly believe that they are both my guardian angels. Didn't ask for it, and never thought of it in that type of light if you will. Other than the occasional beach walk alone and thinking of them and speaking with them as if they could hear me. You know, the way you speak with God, whilst looking at the stars on the beach - in you own quiet space.

But I ask myself this, why is it not my own father that enters my dreams. Why these two people? The first was my friend and classmate from grammar school. The second a love that my family never agreed with. Why not my own Father, Aunt or Uncle whom I was so extremely close with?

I deduced that these two are my guardian angels. They know what I am truly about and perhaps are trying to guide me in lifes decisions or maybe even finish some unfinished business.

Guess I will never know why there are there for me. But they always are... and I hope that they never will cease to be there.

I wake up many times at night and sense that presence. But they are never there at the same time. I am simply glad that they are. I feel my decisions in life are influenced by the both of them. But for different reasons. I guess they just decided to take turns!

Perhaps one day we will meet again. That is when I can ask them why. Until then, I am please that they are my Guardian Angels.

If anyone has ever experience this I'd love to hear from you. It's not something you just bring up to you husband or friends.

I believe in Guardian Angels, not sure why they are there, but damn glad they are.

Thanks for listening and I'm glad I found this site. Believe it or not I was looking for a kitchen remodel help and this is where I found myself. Couldn't pass up a post.
