Do you believe in
Angels? I do. On Monday, February 14, 2005, I had just completed a lengthy
test to see if I have a problem with my heart and was feeling just a bit
anxious. I was also feeling very hungry because I had fasted since
midnight. I decided to stop at the Sonic on N. 7th Street in
West Monroe on my way home. I thought I might feel better if I had a quick
lunch.
I was sitting in my van eating my chilidog and watching the people who were
passing and who were serving the customers because I am a people watcher and
enjoy seeing what people are doing. I noticed a small girl who seemed to be
lost. She was walking in front of all of the cars that were parked and
seemed to be looking for someone. I thought she was looking for her parents
and couldn??™t remember where they were parked.
Then she arrived in
front of my van and came to the window beside me.
She had a beautiful smile so I put the
window down and asked if I could help. She did not say a word, but she
handed me the object she was holding and took off with another sweet
smile. The object was a beautiful hand-made valentine. I thought my heart
would burst with surprise and happiness and I started to cry with tears of
joy. This young girl seemed to be an angel in disguise for me that day.
She gave me a gift of love and brightened my day with just a smile and a
valentine. I would like to thank her for the gift she gave me that day but
I do not know her name except for her first name which is Madeline. If you
are reading this, Madeline, I would like to thank you for your wonderful
gift. You made a ???senior??? citizen??™s day and I will remember you,
especially on days when I am in need of a bit of cheer.
