For days before her accident her 5 year old daughter Victoria was obsessed with drawing butterflies and even asked her granddad to draw some. A week before her accident Denise had seen a Red Admiral butterfly in her daughter�s bedroom. She put it out of the window. On the day of her accident she collected her jeans from the washing line and was about to iron them when a Red Admiral flew out of them. After the accident, her husband Tim picked up her belongings from the police compound - she opened her shopping bag and found Victoria's drawing of a butterfly in her shopping bag. Denise had not realised the drawing was in her bag until that moment. Talking it over with her husband after the accident, Victoria who was listening said, �Mummy there wasn't one butterfly, there were a hundred. Victoria put her hands together as if in prayer and said that one butterfly flew out and said "We must pray for her and save her, and they all lifted her up". *Taken from 'A Little Angel Love' by Jacky Newcomb Bank Card �I lost my bank card the other day and after looking all over for it, I decided to ask the angels to help me find it. I must add I have a little angel altar in my bedroom which I use very often and this very day I went up to the altar to do my meditation and I could not believe it. When I moved a candle to light it and there was my bank card right underneath.� *Taken from 'An Angel Saved My Life' by Jacky Newcomb Saved from a Tornado Cincinnati, Ohio is a thriving, populated city nestled in the heartland of America. Home to major league baseball and football teams, Cincinnati also boasts a renowned symphony orchestra, ballet troupe and famed performing arts school. Many consider it one of the major cultural Mecca�s outside of New York City. Cincinnati is also right at a point in middle America where warm air, drawn up from the south seas, tangles with shocking cold air from Canada. The result can be devastating winds that whip into a gyrating cloud of destruction called a tornado. Middle America is the only place on earth to host this evil weather phenomenon and springtime turbulent weather often produces ripe conditions for a tornado. But tornados were the last thing on Noreen Bouley�s mind as she tucked her two young daughters into bed that night on the eighth of April in 1999. Newly divorced that winter, Noreen had moved the girls to a rental house to start a new life as a single mother. She felt as unsettled as the girls, wondering if she should return to school or continue working as a nurse. It was a relief to fall into bed and allow sleep to black out her worries for a few hours. Noreen was awakened in the middle of the night by her three year old daughter Christina who crawled into bed with her. The clock glared three-thirty. The late night invasion was all too common. Noreen worried the girls would never adjust to this different house and life without Daddy. Too exhausted to carry her young daughter back to her own bed, Noreen covered her gently and fell back to sleep. It was a fateful decision that may have saved her daughter�s life. At five-fifteen, Noreen jerked awake at the sound of the house shaking violently. Hail pounded on the bathroom skylight, a whopper storm for sure. She gathered Christina into her arms and made her way down the dark hallway to five year old Ali�s room. She tucked Christina into bed with her sister and suddenly sensed the window was about to blow in. She remembered the instructions at the hospital where she worked as a nurse. Shut the blinds during bad storms in case the glass breaks. Noreen yanked down the blinds and shouted to the girls to hide their bodies under the covers. At that moment, Noreen felt the window crash in upon her. She wouldn�t learn until later that the entire second floor wall was falling in on top of her. The roof rafters cracked above and Noreen sensed the ceiling and roof were now collapsing. She tried to shelter herself under Ali�s desk. �It couldn�t have been more than five seconds of total panic and chaos,� Noreen explains. �Suddenly, I felt myself being swept up and the next thing I knew I was laying on our driveway.� Slowly, she sat up and saw the girls at the other end of the driveway. �The odd thing is,� Noreen said. �The winds in this tornado were clocked at more than two-hundred miles per hour, yet the girls were standing up in the driveway!� Five year old Ali doesn�t remember being swept from her bed that terrifying morning. �I remember there was a storm and Mommy put Christina into bed with me,� Ali said. �The next thing I knew, I was on the driveway.� Frightened, young Ali remembers saying out loud, �What are we going to do?� At that moment, the image of a face appeared. Ali says it was a beautiful, female angel. �The image was faint, but I immediately felt safe and protected. I knew the angel had saved us,� Ali said. As Noreen stood, her shoulder was wrenched in pain. She felt disoriented, as if in a dream. What happened? Why are we in the driveway? A neighbour rushed over to help her comfort the children, and guided them to his house. Ali thought the angel sent the neighbour to help them. Noreen sat in the neighbour�s kitchen and thought it seemed very odd. It finally dawned on her that the back wall of his house was no longer there, and she was practically sitting in his yard! �We�ve been in a tornado,� he gently told her. Through all the turmoil, a man transported Noreen and the girls to the hospital where the power was out. Oddly, on that date, the hospital was testing their emergency power to prepare for Y2K. Doctors found Noreen had shattered her shoulder and required stitches on her head and arms. Ali began to vomit, and fearing internal injuries, doctors airlifted her to Children�s Hospital where Noreen�s ex-husband rushed to be with her. That was when Ali told her father about the angel who had saved them. He was astounded and felt very blessed. Meanwhile, more angels were at work. Noreen�s boyfriend Kurt saw her house on the television news, and immediately remembered the family�s dog. He rushed to the scene, but the police would not let him back to the house. Kurt left his car, and walked into the neighbourhood where he saw a woman carrying Noreen�s dog! The pet was in the laundry room next to the garage when the tornado hit, and evidently escaped unharmed when the garage was totally blown away! The next day, Noreen was released from the hospital. She did later endure months of physical therapy on her shoulder, but she was amazed the girls had scrapes, but no real injuries. She was awed by Ali�s angel. When she returned to her house she was flabbergasted to see the entire upstairs of the house was gone! Even the carpet had ripped away. The only structure left standing upstairs was the bathtub. Water spewed from the burst pipes and the burglar alarm was blaring. �I had no clothes except for the T-shirt I wore to bed that night,� Noreen said. �My boyfriend and I climbed in the broken bay window to see the damage. It was a mess. But the kitchen table was shoved into the corner and trapped a chair. That�s where I found my purse intact with my driver�s license and some money. There were lots of angels assisting that day.� Another friend was outside searching for lost treasures. �My best friend Melissa came up,� Noreen said. �She held up a guardian angel pin and said she found it in my driveway. She asked if it was mine. I didn�t recognize it, but it touched us all. I still have it in my jewellery box.� It seems Ali�s angel had left a reminder. As Noreen continued to survey her house she noticed the stairway was completely collapsed and destroyed. �I know in my heart, that I would have tried to escape with the girls down those stairs. We got out of that house the only way we could�with the help of an angel. I know we still have an important mission on this earth and I intend to do my best to achieve it.� Ali has not seen her angel since that incredible morning. But she still feels the comfort that she is never alone. *Taken from 'An Angel Saved My Life' by Jacky Newcomb Mum's still here �A very dear female friend of mine died suddenly in 2001, leaving her distraught husband and two sons who were then aged 8 and 5. The older son, George, had a learning disability on the Autistic spectrum of disorders and needed a lot of care. George doesn't understand about road safety and other survival techniques we need in life, but even so, his communication skills are good. He was taught to 'sign' before he could speak and so he actually 'signs' whilst he is speaking. Everyone who knew the family tried to 'pitch in' and help after my friend passed. The younger boy, David, was tearful one night and was crying at bedtime and saying he missed his Mum. His Gran was hugging him and trying to comfort him when his older brother, George, amazed us by saying, 'Mum hasn't really gone anywhere, she talks to everyone but says they don't ever listen, and you never listen to anyone, do you?' Of cause, David, was even more upset by that! And he complained even more, 'Why doesn't she talk louder then�and why is she talking to you, and not me!'. George calmly explained, 'All you have to do is say before you go to sleep, �Mum, I am listening and I miss you�, and you will hear her'. Their grandmother and I were astounded as their parents were not religious (their mother had even had a humanist burial service). As far as I know, neither children knew anything about the 'afterlife' and had been taught to believe that this life was all there was. But the next day, David awoke with a big smile on his face and told his Gran that during the night his mum had visited him. She had hugged him while he was asleep and had sung to him. Well, Jacky, I have changed the names of these boys because their Dad doesn't like the idea of an afterlife. He met a nice lady and re-married recently and is happy and the boys are too. The boys are closer than most brothers. David says he will always look after George and make sure he crosses the road safely ...and George says '�not bloody likely!� But they do love each other and that much is clear. I think they are probably 'soul mates' and destined to help each other throughout life.� *Taken from 'An Angel By My Side' by Jacky Newcomb Send me your story and I might be able to publish it too!
