Babe’s Gift of Divine Intervention
Many years ago I lost two important people in my life, one I was deeply in love with and the other I was anxiously waiting for her arrival into this world. It left a void that could not be filled by anyone else, or should I say any person. Instead, it was filled, or at least hidden, by the love and companionship of one animal. She was God’s answer to my prayers, the one in my physical life that kept me going day after day. She gave my life constant purpose and right up until her last breath on Earth her only concern was for me, but she didn’t stop there.
When Babe left the physical world and took her place beside God in Heaven, her love for me and my unwillingness to let her go sent her on another journey to take care of me like she had countless times before. For days, I was unable to leave the house or face other people and just the thought or mere mention of Babe would send me into an emotional collapse. She was my closest friend and had listened to my innermost feelings and thoughts for many years. She knew the one thing on Earth that could bring me peace again. She knew that even she could never bring me the feeling of wholeness that could only come from having one person in my life. That all changed one day with an email and a phone call. It was only then that I knew then why Babe had to leave my side here in the physical world. It was the only way she could give me what I had longed for all those years, my daughter.
Through Babe’s will and the hand of God, peace was returned to me by the very person I had anxiously waited for the arrival of many year ago, Brittany. Over the months that followed, we took it slow and got to know each other through emails. It gave me something to look forward to each day. We talked about faith, family, friends, music, school, sports, and just plain everyday life. The more I learned about her the more I thanked God for blessing me with her. Many years of countless prayers for her had been answered and she had been watched over and kept safe. She was the perfect daughter in every way, except that we had never actually met each other. Then one day I got an email telling me that she was coming here for vacation and wanted to meet me and spend time together.
What seemed like an eternity of waiting was almost over and as time passed and the meeting drew closer I began to grow nervous, something I’m not used to feeling, but there was always a presence there to calm me. The day came as I sat on the couch with my eyes closed and feeling Babe next to me waiting. When the door bell rang I felt a rush of emotion, and as I opened the door and Brittany came into my life, I could feel Babe leaving. She had brought me this far and given me one last gift and now it was her time to let me go. The time spent with Brittany that week, however brief, made my life. Life had come full circle and I no longer had to anxiously wait for her arrival, she was here, an angel on Earth delivered to me by an angel above. The daughter I have always loved in my heart is now in my life, and while she may never understand how much she meant to me all these years, Babe always did and never forgot.
My life has truly been blessed and I thank God every day for the people around me, especially for my angels, and I know Babe is sitting beside him looking down on me as we both finally share peace. She will always be in my heart and prayers for the greatest gift she ever gave me was Brittany.
