This took place just befor Christmas in 1990. that year I had lost my grandmother in March. My father and I went shopping at the Mall for Christmas. We were looking for a gift for my baby siter at the time. Well I wasnt in a good mood. I had missed my Grandmother. This was my dad's mom. My father raised me. Ok so he wanted to get her a present, like a umbrella set or something well I just said I dont really care what you get... Like I said I was in a bad mood.

Well he slapped me across the face. That was a first with me... So i went to the womans room crying. I thought I was alone.. Then after a min or so a lady came out of the stall. She comforted me and told me everything would be ok. So she was there for me. She gave me five dollars for christmas. well she went to leave and I just saw the door as it was open and saw my father on the floor crying. I ran out real qick and said where is that lady that came out I want to thank her again. My father said noone came out of the bathroom. I said there had to be. She had dark hair and red smock like top on. Well i made my father go to every store. There was no store there or anywhere near that Mall that had red smocks, or anything. Not even the food court. So I knew then I still believe it today this was an angel.

Well I met my mother 4 yrs ago for the first time and she gave me a pic of my grandmother who passed away right befor I was born. She looks just like the angel in my story. I will never forget that face in my mind..... Thats my story.
