Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.. The child asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?
God replied, "Among the Angels, I'll choose one for you."
The child further inquired, "But tell, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and be happy."
God said, "Your Angel will sing for you and also smile for you every day, and you will feel your Angels' love and be very happy."
Again the child asked. "And how am I going be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?
God said. "Your Angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your Angel will teach you how to speak."
Then the child said. "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?" God said, "Your Angel will place your hands together and teach you how to pray."
The child said.."I've heard that on earth there are some bad people, who will protect me?"
God said. "Your Angel will defend you even at the risk of her own life."
The child said. "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God said. "Your Angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in heaven, but voices from earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my Angels name."
And God answered. "Her name is not important. You will simply call her, Great "GRANDMA"
