ANGEL ORNAMENT
I was babysitting my brother's friend's children one night
around Christmas time and it was the first time I had met
her children. After I had sent the children to bed, I was
sitting in front of the television embroidering a present
for my grandmother. I had just let the cats out and I was
the only one in the house that was awake.
About thirty minutes after sitting down, I heard the noise of someone
whispering come out of the little girl's room, figuring it
was her playing around, I went in to investigate. Being a
former mischievous child, I know the signs of running to
your bed in haste at the sounds of watchful footsteps
coming to bust up your fun, she was sound asleep...I sat
back down. Several minutes later, I saw what looked like
a cats face pop up out of the corner of my eye, knowing
the cats were out, I turned to see what was moving
around. On the Christmas tree to the left of me was an
angel ornament spinning around. There were no vents near
the tree or any other source of a breeze, none of the
other ornaments were moving at all. When Laura (the
children's mother) came home, I asked her if her house was
haunted, she asked me why and I told her the story. She
told me that she thinks that her mother (the children's
grandmother) watches over them because her picture always
falls off the wall and she hears whispering coming from
the children's rooms. She also told me that her daughter
is very shy and was scared about meeting me, so she had
prayed for her mother to watch over her. She asked me
which ornament was moving and I showed her. She knelt by
the tree and asked again "this one?". A look of relief
washed over her face and she showed me the ornament, it
was an angel that she and her mother made before she died
and where the face of the angel should be, was a picture
of her mother's face.
