An Angel...

He sometimes talks a little bit about her when we are on line. This time he told me a little story about a movie that they had gone to before he had shipped out for Fort Lewis.

"We went to the movies. I don't remember what it was but that's not the point anyway.

"There were a bunch of people behind us laughing and making a lot of noise. They kept coming and going before the movie started. She said she had to go to the bathroom. While she was gone I sat there watching the previews on the screen, listening to the people behind me, watching them come and go.

"All of a sudden a girl came around the corner into the theater. I looked over and thought I was looking at an angel. It was dark. I couldn't see her very well but I knew she was beautiful. I looked away towards the screen not wanting to stare.

"It wasn't until she started down my row that I realized it was her. The angel I saw - she was my angel. It's something I'll never forget as long as I live."
