Veronicas Angel
There are many more things between heaven and earth than we will ever be able to see or imagine – Shakespeare already knew about that. Love, satisfaction, happiness – any kind of emotions cannot be proved but only felt and experienced. It is impossible to measure, prove or even explain them in an objective manner.
Veronica's Angel was given to me in one of these so-called „magic moments“.
Sitting at the bed of a dying woman and accompanying her in her last moments, I held her hand and was thinking about life and death. Silently, I talked to the woman about her way home, and I told her that there would be an angel waiting for her at heaven's door.
Immediately I saw her smiling happily and content, and in this moment I realized that my words had reached her. I was pleased that I had seemingly been able to help her to accept the situation and take away her fears of dying. Just in this moment I saw my angel, this wonderful little and simple angel which I could grind into glass.
This is the way Veronica's Angel was given to me in September 2004. In my opinion, it is a present from heaven!
