I am a calm person, I have always. I love the white and soft blue colors at the sky on a bright day. When I walk through the grass on a sunny day I love to listen to the birds singing, on the other hand I love the touch of raindrops falling down on me.
My story is a little strange for an angel. I once suffered from a long and hard sickness. Not a single doctor I met through the years could tell me what it was and so it continued until the day I finally lost the fight and closed my eyes. Forever I thought. But I was wrong. At this moment my second life began.
I opened my eyes and felt that something had changed. My body felt strange, I felt that the sickness was gone. I felt good, strong and healthy. When I looked around I saw a man standing in front of me, smiling.
"Welcome home my child. I am Raphael." He said. I thought I would be terrified, but I wasn't. I was happy. I knew that Raphael was good. And so I followed him into the Kingdom of Light, something you might call heaven.
The Kingdom is a wonderful place. It's bright and beautiful and different for many people. Depending on your beliefs this place changes. So for me it's different then it would might be for you. It's basically like the world I lived in before, but everything is just more beautiful here.
The kingdom surrounds a huge field. In the middle of it is a beautiful huge tree with white leafs. Each leaf symbolizes a human and once it starts to turn blue the time of this person is ending. It usually takes some days, then the leaf falls down. When this happens the person dies. Raphael showed me my leaf. It was not blue, it was silver. When I asked him what this means he said:
"The reason why your leaf is silver and not blue, is that you are a chosen one. Only one person is chosen in each generation. This makes you the keeper of the Tree of Life."
I was confused, but then he explained me, that the keeper is there to guide people to the Kingdom. Raphael was the last keeper and I became the new one. From this day on I watched the leafs falling down, guided the people into our kingdom and gave them their new duty. I love doing this, because I can take the fear from people, tell them that everything is fine now, the pain of life is gone. And believe me, many of them are glad when I tell them that their pain has ended. I'm not the only one who suffered for a long time and then died.
