A couple of years ago I was very active on a Norwegian internet forum discussing paranormal phenomenon. During this time there were a lot of young parents posting there sharing their stories, telling about what their children saw and said.
A lot of them talked about imaginary friends. Some had a name, others were just referred to as "The lady" or "the nice man", the common answer parents got when they asked who, was "My friend.."
If your child told you something like that, what would you say to him or her? What if we really have spiritual guides or guardian angels? I believe we do! What if children are open and innocent enough to see them and talk to them? Indeed there are angels standing around every cradle.
As kids grow up they seem to forget their mysterious friends. Maybe it is us who deprives them from this ability. I have a girlfriend my own age who vividly remembers seeing her secret friend as a child, but for logical reasons she thinks it is her imagination running wild and that she made him up.
I think if she did, she would have remembered making him up as well!!
I hope when our children tell us about their companions, we can be curious and encouraging. So many people spend a lifetime tryingto contact their spiritual guides. Maybe they don't have to loose that ability from the beginning.

I can clearly remember my friend from my childhood. But I think we must redefine what we accept as friends, because my friend was a mouse. I had her until I reached the age of 8 or 9, and I can precisly remeber how I got vanished with her as well. I was sitting on the loo telling her to go away because I didn't need her anymore.
But she was maybe not a mouse after all. Thank you for setting things in a new perspective. :)
thank you for sharing Rarek... My friends angel was just a glowing "ball" :)
About ten years ago, when I still worked for a newspaper, I interviewed a young Girl who had been struck by a car while riding Her bicycle on a busy street. Except for being shaken up, She was just fine -- and She said, very calmly, that She had seen angels come to protect Her.
yes ECD, that is also something to notice, most of us use big words and have big feelings when it comes to the unseen reality, but when someone really has an encounter, they regard it as perfectly normal after....!
I am Angel in disguise, too.
I am growing my wings.
