I was eight years old. I slept in the top bunk and my sister on the lower bunk. My mother shut the door and left us to fall asleep in the dark. I was very scared of the dark. I would lay there and stare at the shadows on the walls. My sister fell asleep but I couldn't. I turned over from facing the wall and there across my room stood the most beautiful human form I had ever seen. She was tall standing on the floor like any other person. She had no wings. She was dressed in a short one piece dress which was of that time (70s). She had beautiful blonde hair that was up high in bun. She was smiling and walking slowly across my floor in my direction. I was so scared. I could see all the color in her being but the room was not lit. I slowly pulled the covers up over my head and seconds later I would look up from them to see her still coming to me. She had her arms held outwards as if she were going to tuck me in. I would pull them up again. As she got up next to me i was too scared to look again. But when I finally did again she was gone. I think about 2 weeks from that night my sister and I who were only 7 and 8 were given away from our parents and split up to separate families. We had no idea this was coming. After my new parents adopted me I told my new mom about what I had experienced. I honestly believe she was right when she told me it was probably my Guardian Angel who wanted me to know that I would be ok.
