As a child, i wouldn`t believe in guardian angels, i always thought that it all came out of people`s head but by the time i am writing in here i can proudly stand up and say that i DO believe in them now. But i`ll just start from the beginning... i was born on the 15th february 1979 at 15.15 hours and according to my mother as soon as my grandad got to see me at the hospital he just would leave me... he`d come and spend every single minute of his time with me, reading me stories and singing to me.

By the time i was feeling good enough to go back home my grandad asked my mom if he could take me with him to Portugal where he used to live... she gently told him that she needed her daughter by her side and he seemed to understand but 3 weeks later he made a nervous breakdown so mom gave him the green light to take me home with him. As i grew older mom did not find the courage to take me back with her and i ended up living with my grand parents until the age of 9. One day, i had that terrible nightmare in which i saw my grandad dying... one week later he passed away and i flew back to Paris to join my parents.

Thats when everything started... i once was dancing in the living room, making a fool of myself and i turned around to see an old man sitting on the sofa, staring and smiling at me... i was not scared though, i remember feeling relaxed and peaceful, like if i had know that person for years.

Another time, i was walking in the street listening to my walkman and about to cross the road when i suddenly felt like a hand gripping my shoulder, preventing me from crossing. When i turned around there was no one, so i turned back and a car drove past me in high speed... if i hadn`t turned round i would have definitely been killed. About 5 months ago i as feeling depressed and one night i dreamt my grandad was telling me not to worry because he`d always be by my side to look after me... he also told me to take great care of myself as he could see a big danger expecting me in a near future.

A couple of months ago i moved from Paris to Glasgow in scotland to start a new job. Everything was going right and i eventually forgot about my grandad`s warning... until last week ! I was at my office, coming back from lunch and i sat down at my desk, suddenly we (my colleagues and I) heard a massive bang... i bent over to get my bag and my coat but something prevented me from doing so and made me stand up, 2 steps away from my chair... at that very minute a piece of the roof collapsed right into it.

I didn`t want to believe that every one has got its own guardian angel... i do now, and i know for sure that wherever my grandad may be he`ll always protect me until my time is up. I didn`t have the opportunity to say goodbye when he passed away so i am glad he`s by my side now.

Thank you all for listening... do not hesitate to contact me if u want to share experiences. Believe in your angel

Love,
