nce 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: Among the many angels, I chose one especially for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you. 

Child: But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, and that's enough for me to be happy. Will I be happy there?

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

Child: And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don't know the  language that men talk?

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

Child: And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?

God: Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.

Child: I've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?

God: Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her own life.

Child: But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.

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

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.

God: Your angel's name is of no importance. You will call your angel...Mommy.
