I was in a post office, collecting a clients pension when my mobile rang. It was my son asking me if I could help.

1/04/2003

My daughter in law was pregnant, her fifth pregnancy, the last one twins! she was in labour in the town centre.

It was a Friday dinnertime, one of the busiest times of the week and I was on the town’s outskirts.

I asked the angels to help me get to C as quick as possible, for a clear route and for her to hang on to the baby til we were in the hospital.

All the traffic lights were green, the roundabouts were all clear I made it in 8 mins!!

After settling C in the car, I collected son and off we went to the hosp about 15 miles away.

C asked me to stay for the birth, my first!!!

In the labour room I was one side and son the other, both holding a hand and leg.

I looked over at son and standing beside him was a huge angel, I then noticed, above the bed, hovering over C was another!!

After baby K was born, 25mins after arriving!!! I walked over to the cot he had been placed in and standing at the head of it was another huge angel!

If I had thought to, I could have seen mine if I had looked!

I went around with a stupid grin on my face for the rest of the day
