Is She An Angel?

There was this particular young woman. I hardly knew her. The first time I heard her name was three years ago, from a guy who was my colleague then. He kept on praising her name and he’s fond of talking about her and her life. I thought of her as a very mysterious person. I wondered who she really was.

Time passed and she was out of the picture anymore as I stopped thinking about her. Then, I indulged to into married life. It’s just that after the wedding I knew that the young woman has shared a big amount for the event. I was shocked for I never thought that she really did it and I did not hear even a single word from her. I wondered how she looked like.

I became pregnant. When she knew about it, she kept on sending stuff for the baby such as milk bottles, pillows, etc. I was very thankful then for we need not to prepare more for the baby. She also gave some things for me and my husband. She sometimes even bought food and everything. I wondered why she is doing all of these.

Then I delivered my baby. It was complicated as I was subjected to caesarian operation. The baby was in distress already for its heartbeat is getting slower. I couldn't even breathe that there are these pricking devices on hands and some air on my nose. The baby? Yes, the baby was safe, thanks God. However, he was subjected to phototherapy for there was a problem on blood compatibility. We stayed in the hospital for three days unaware that the bill is still big even though it has been deducted with my health security benefits already. That was the darkest time of my life that I couldn’t reach to anyone else but God. Suddenly, there was a way. The young woman paid almost half of the bill. The problem was solved and she was involved again. I wondered why she is so good.

Now, the baby is growing up and still receiving anything from the young woman. I, being so weak learned a lot from her, that sometimes I can say that I can count on God and on her. I do not worship her, yet there’s something in her that I can’t explain. I’m always pulling my courage and strength from her. She makes me strong in times of difficulties. She never counts what she had given and what she had helped. She’s fair as she listens to everybody. She fights for you if you are being stepped on. She’s smart. She’s beautiful. I am so happy to have known this young woman and I would spend the rest of my life showing her my gratitude. Until now, I’m wondering – is she an angel?
