I Have an Angel of My Very Own

Who would have thought it,

Death would snatch you that day.

I wonder...

Did the Angels carry you away?

When Patty Childs unexpectedly lost her husband, she began wondering about life after death and what Heaven was like. While picturing angels carrying her husband, Patty contemplated whether he saw Heaven's golden gates or if his loved ones were waiting for him, along with his dog, Old Blue.

In an inspirational poem accompanied by vivid illustrations, Patty asks questions about our loved ones' lives in Heaven. Within her verse, Patty wonders whether the sun shines in Heaven, whether the streets are made from gold, whether its eternal dwellers must live by the Golden Rule, or whether they are able to see God and stand in his glory.

I Have An Angel of My Very Own shares a moving poem and accompanying illustrations that will bring joy, hope, and comfort to those suffering from loss.
