"I have almost always had a fascination with the angelic realm. My 1st encounter with what I believe was an "earth angel" was when I was in college. I had gone on a field trip and was teaching art to 1st graders. After we boarded the train to go home, I knew I would be late for my night job, and so I got off the train to call my employer. Well, the train left without me, purse and all! I remember panicking and saw a man far in the distance walking toward me who looked a lot like my grandfather. He gave me money for a train ticket and even bought me some pizza while I was waiting for the train. We walked back to the station and when I turned around to get his information so I could mail him some money, he had vanished. I have more angel stories but that was the 1st experience I had that I thought, was this man real or was he an angel?"
