Do you know, here I am slaving away, celebrating his birthday, packing, scrubbing, and where is he?
Oh yes, I get a phone call.
'I am going to the pub'
At midnight, to celebrate with a friend of his, who has his birthday also...
Such a bloke thing to do.
Yes, Tam, being 40, is good for me, ten years ago when I was 30, my children were at high school, I thought, yes, when I am 40 my life will be sorted...
A baby 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 said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.'
The child further inquired,' But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.' God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.'
Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to 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.'
'And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?' God said, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.'
'Who will protect me?' God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.'
'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 angel's name.' God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'
Happy Birthday my friend, enjoy it for what it is, a tribute to a wonderful beginning filled with the promises of Monday and forever. Of coursr I would also like to add that you can thank your mother from me for such an insightful man entering my life filled with inspiration. A muse and mirth rolled into one. Congrats young man, it is in truth but just another day but you my friend are the gift.
