One Christmas when I was 5 years old (and I remember this like it was yesterday) my dad was sitting of the living room listening to Christmas music on the radio. I don't know why but the angelic words and music of this timeless carol arrested my thoughts...As I turned to look at my dad an angel in a flowing white gown with wings that almost touched the ceiling, stood behind my dad as if watching over him! I wasn't frightened in the least but when I said "Daddy, there's an angel behind you." he told me later that he was almost afraid to turn around because I was so convincing! But when he turned, he couldn't see it but I still could for what seemed like several minutes but it was probably only a few seconds and then it faded away. Why did it appear to me and not dad and why have I remembered that encounter for more than 70 years??? I don't know unless it was to remind me of the timeless message of the First Noel...
