Once upon a time in a faraway land known as Angel Haven, there lived many Angels of all sorts. There were elder Angels, filled with experience and wisdom. There were young Angels, full of excitement and wonder. And of course, there were those in between, making the journey from one end of life to the other.

And the Angels took it upon themselves to rally in support of a handsome gentleman by the name of Sir Michael, and the love of his life, Lady Caroline. Even though their love for each other was yet unspoken, it was obvious to the Angels that the two of them were meant to be together, and together their love would be pure magic. Therefore the Angels declared themselves to be Michael and Caroline’s Guardian Angels, and embarked upon a crusade to help this couple join together, and live happily ever after.

And many of the Angels had special talents that became an important part of their close knit community. There were storytellers, soothsayers, humorists, protectors, caretakers, supporters, and a sage or two. There was one Angel, however, with a very special talent. She possessed the ability to put into words what others could feel inside, but were unable to express. She could unleash true feelings of the heart and soul, and the Angels reveled in seeing the world through her eyes.

And this Angel loved to speak of their favorite twosome, Michael and Caroline. And when she spoke of them, she would begin to fill with love and joy at the very thought of them finally being together. Many of the other Angels would gather around her to listen, and as she expressed her deepest thoughts and feelings, she would be so filled with warmth and hope for the couple that she would begin to glow all over. The more she spoke, the more she glowed, and the more the Angels became enthralled in her words. As she spoke of the true love growing between Michael and Caroline, she would glow brighter and brighter until at last she glowed so brightly, it was as though a white light shone on the Angels around her. And the Angels’ faces lit up as they drank in every word, until they thought they would burst with joy! This is how this Angel came to be known as the Glow Angel.

One day, however, it was discovered that the Glow Angel had disappeared. And Angel Haven was very sad. They searched throughout the land both near and far, sending word out to all that the Glow Angel was missing. But alas, no one had seen her. Not knowing how to find her, the Angels became more and more worried. And Angel Haven became darker without her glow to brighten their world.

But lo and behold, one day the Glow Angel suddenly reappeared! The Angels were filled with joy and gathered around her in excited fashion to see if she was alright. She revealed that she had been called away suddenly to take care of some things, but now she had returned home to them, safe and sound. And the Angels welcomed her home with hugs and joyous exclamations! And Angel Haven was once again filled with excitement and fervour.

And since that day, the Glow Angel has remained at Angel Haven, and she has continued to speak of Michael and Caroline whenever she feels their magic. And only the Glow Angel can truly express the miracle of the heart and soul of this magic - Michael and Caroline’s true love for one another. And as she glows with the wonder of this miracle, she herself becomes part of the magic. And Angel Haven is bright once again.

So you see, Erika is the Glow Angel. And whether or not life allows it, she will still glow. And whether or not she gushes, the glow is still there, because we know it’s there. And whether it’s glowing quietly inside her, or brightly bursting forth, we will always see it. Because it’s part of her, and it’s part of the magic. So you glow when you’re ready, Angel. We’ll be here....
