Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So one day he asked God: "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

God answered, "Among the many angels I chose one for you." She will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child thought a while and asked God. " But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, that's enough for me to be happy."

God answered, "Your angel will sing for you and also smile for you every day, and you will feel your angel's love and be happy."

"Oh," the child said, "and how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, If I don't understand the language that men speak?"

God answered, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words that you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."

The child looked at God and asked. "What am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God softly touched the child on the head and said, " Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."

"I've heard on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?" The child asked.

"Ah," God answered, " "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.

"But, I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

"Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always me next to you," God answered."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly: "Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."

Sweetly God looked at the child and whispered, "Your angel's name is of no importance. You will call your angel, MOM."
