My first encounter with Angels was in the last year at Primary School. 

Our religious teacher who was a nun was talking about Angels and told us that we all had a Guardian Angel. 

This Guardian Angel had been with us from birth and was by our side constantly. 

They were here to guide and watch over us.

I remember being fascinated about this and at the end of school I made my way home thinking about what we had learnt that day. 

I eventually came to my road and started to cross it in front of our house.  I vividly remember saying to myself ‘I wonder if Guardian Angels do exist’?  Just a line of enquiry, I wasn’t planning to put myself in any difficult situation.

I had just got to the middle of the road, when this car came speeding down our small road.  I got a fright but felt calm at the same time.

I could see the car was at high speed but something was stopping it from getting to me and it wasn’t far from me at the same time.

I got to the other side of the road and as the car passed it had disappeared. I know that because our road joined a busy High Road and he would have to stop no matter what.

I just knew that was my Guardian Angel showing me he did exist and was around.  I was excited to have experienced it.
