I Met An Angel On A Train
Lou Willcock's true life story shows how her encounter with some kind of supernatural being came at just the right time in her life
"The angel appearing was an enormously powerful experience which got me through the worst of times as well as the challenges and opportunities to come"
Lou writes:
Last December I had been up to London with my best friend Sarah. It was the week before Christmas and we'd been to see The London Community Gospel Choir perform at a little venue in Notting Hill. It had been an uplifting evening with lots of clapping, smiling faces and great music.
This was exactly what I needed; only days before I'd been diagnosed with breast cancer and was still reeling from the shock.
After the concert, Sarah and I made our way back to Paddington station and caught a late train back to Oxford.
We took our seats in what was almost an empty carriage. Within minutes of pulling out of the station, a tall, handsome, and dark stranger approached and asked if he could sit with us. As two lone females we would normally be wary of such requests but in unison we instinctively said 'yes'.
Within seconds the stranger embarked on the most extraordinary of conversations. Without knowing anything about us, he started to tell me that I had a passion for travel (which I do) and that Sarah shared this passion - although should also follow her own dreams.
He told us that our friendship would be a lasting one and that we would always take care of one another. But most significantly, and without knowing anything of my ill health, he told us not to worry about the future and that everything would be alright.
In spite of lots of gentle probing, the stranger avoided answering any of our questions.
He said his name wasn't important and that what he did for a living changed almost on a daily basis. He was actually waiting for instructions about what he'd be doing next.
Before long, the train began to approach Slough and the stranger stood up and asked if he could give us both a hug. Normally we wouldn't, but we found ourselves embracing him with open arms.
As we stopped, he said goodbye and walked to the exit. Sarah and I both went to the window to wave him off but he was no where to be seen.
Somewhere between the train doors and the station platform our stranger had vanished.
We looked at one another and knew that we had just met an Angel.
And we knew everything to come would be fine,
…and that there would always be an angel with us keeping us safe from harm.
