Just as the angels lifted
their hands from his head,
and he opened his eyes, a
smaller, more feminine
soul approached him. His
best friend on This Side!
How did she come to be
here, at the end of the
Meeting? Well, no matter!
He rushed into her arms
for a hug, filled with excitement about entering his
time on Earth.
As they embraced, the
angel spoke one more
time.
“We have noticed that you and this wise soul have spent much time together here, in love and
devotion. She has affirmed her Life Contract recently, as well, and will be departing in about two
Earth years' time for life on Earth, as well.” They exchanged huge grins of shared joy at the news.
“Jonathan, meet your sister. At her request, she has Contracted to watch over you and be your
Earth life companion. She will help you in your journey on Earth. This, she does willingly and
gleefully.”
Jonathan and his soon-to-be sister hugged each other tightly, and jumped up and down with
excitement. Oh! To share his Earth time with his best friend! Surely, she would make his
sacrifices easier to bear, his lonely silences ring with laughter, and his times of desperation seem
like mere moments.
The angel touched Jonathan on the shoulder, and his best friend released him from her embrace.
“It is time.”
