Angels to me, are as different as falling snowflakes. They come in human form and angel form, like we do, in different colors, shapes and sizes. I have never seen an angel with wings, but others I know have seen angels themselves. Some look like humans, others look like angels and some are unseen.

I am as sure as there is a heaven above,  I  met an angel once over 25 years ago. He came in the form of a human, an older gentleman. Months after my daughter Kate, passed away suddenly. My dear friend, Nancy, invited me on a girl’s trip to Houston. The first day of our trip in Houston, we went shopping at an upscale mall, There we met a man in a department store and had just a friendly hello to him at the men’s department,   However, the next day, the man came up to us in a little shop in a town an hour away from Houston that neither of us had ever been to. The tall man came up to us and surprised us by saying “hello girls”. We chatted for a few minutes and he said, we thought jokingly, “See you at the airport.” Nancy and I laughed and turned to look at some gifts. A few moments later, when Nancy and I turned back to him,  the man was gone. Later, we realized he must have been an angel because it seemed an  amazing encounter.  My fear of flying had escalated after my daughter’s passing. As we looked up and down the street that long ago day, the gentleman  was nowhere? We sat down at a little table outside the store and said to each other,”Could the man be an angel sent to comfort me?” My fear of flying has decreased over the years now and I’ve looked  for him at airports but haven’t seen him, yet I know he is there. He never told us his name nor did we tell him ours, but to this day I call him, The Man I Call Angel.

 As I’ve written my Mystic Bay Series over the last ten years, my novels center around angels living as humans. I certainly have asked many people if they have seen angels. And to my surprise, so many friends and strangers have had experiences. They are all  first hand from people I call friends or have met at book events. Every encounter is comforting to me  and extraordinary. One encounter is from a friend. Her  husband had passed away. An angel appeared to her and identified himself as her guardian angel. She couldn’t see his face clearly, but his wings were a  beautiful gray blue color, folded long to his sides. She said he spoke comforting words to her as she felt ill that day. She said he stood about 12 feet tall. She has never forgotten how her angel helped her with loving words and presence that day.

Another friend, a person with healing abilities, said he has seen angels that are 30 feet tall and golden. He sees them around many individuals. Another friend tells me her two angels have been at her side since childhood and appear as ordinary young men.

I have written 5 books in the Mystic Bay Series. 20 Moon Road, will be out this summer. What’s remarkable to me is, I keep hearing angel stories from people who have seen them or knew an angel was with them or saved their life. These are truly angel miracle stories, sent to us all from heaven above.
