Angels go to heaven and watch us always

Angels go to heaven and watch us always: today we went to a Greek Orthodox Church service for a little girl who died of cancer. Our house is touching the small family church, it is the back wall or our garden. In Greece they have church services for many reasons, holidays, name days of church, and a special memorial service, mnemósynon, for people who died. They do this after a death and sometimes for years afterwards. This mnemósynon, was for a little girl who died of cancer at age 9 many years ago. When I entered the church to light a candle, (traditional in Greece) I entered sacred space. Sacred space for me is full of messages. Here, in the church, I heard these words. “Little angels come and go, they visit us on earth for as a gift. They never leave us they are always there. Baby spirits come and go, carry eternal love. Little girls carry little girl spirits to us a a gift of love. Next to the church is a small room with the bones of family members who have died. I Greece they put the body in a grave with a top that can be opened to take the bones out later and put them in small boxes. The little girls bones were in one box with the date of her death. People from the village come to the service with their children. A little girl went into the small room and looked at the box with the bones of the little girl who died. The living little girl carried little girl spirits and the little girl who died carried them to and in heaven they joined and played together backwards and forwards in time.
