I was on my deathbed when I saw him. He didn’t speak.
“I’m dying,” I said. “They told me I’ll probably die today. My wife and children hate me. I’m all alone. I’m afraid.”
My angel put his hand on my heart.
“What’s the best part about being alive?”
“I don’t remember,” I said crying.
Then my angel took me in his arms and rocked me to sleep one last time.
