Rudy Angel - Christian - http://www.diamondmachine.com/jesusrox/Rudy

I walked into the grocery store not particularly
interested in buying groceries. I wasn't hungry.
The pain of losing my husband of 37 years was
still too raw. And this grocery store held so many
sweet memories.

Rudy often came with me and almost every time
he'd pretend to go off and look for something
special. I knew what he was up to. I'd always
spot him walking down the aisle with the three
yellow roses in his hands.

Rudy knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart
filled with grief, I only wanted to buy my few
items and leave, but even grocery shopping
was different since Rudy had passed on.

Shopping for one took time, a little more thought
than it had for two. Standing by the meat, I
searched for the perfect small steak and
remembered how Rudy had loved his steak.

Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was
blond, slim and lovely in a soft green pantsuit.
I watched as she picked up a large pack of

T-bones, dropped them in her basket, hesitated,
and then put them back. She turned to go and
once again reached for the pack of steaks.

She saw me watching her and she smiled. "My
husband loves T-bones, but honestly, at these
prices, I don't know."

I swallowed the emotion down my throat and met
her pale blue eyes. "My husband passed away
eight days ago," I told her. Glancing at the
package in her hands, I fought to control the
tremble in my voice. "Buy him the steaks.
And cherish every moment you have together."

She shook her head and I saw the emotion in
her eyes as she placed the package in her
basket and wheeled away. I turned and pushed
my cart across the length of the store to the
dairy products. There I stood, trying to decide
which size milk I should buy. A quart, I finally
decided and moved on to the ice cream section
near the front of the store. If nothing else, I could
always fix myself an ice cream cone.

I placed the ice cream in my cart and looked
down the aisle toward the front. I saw first the
green suit, then recognized the pretty lady
coming towards me. In her arms she carried
a package. On her face was the brightest
smile I had ever seen. I would swear a soft halo
encircled her blond hair as she kept walking
toward me, her eyes holding mine. As she came
closer, I saw what she held and tears began
misting in my yes.

"These are for you," she said and placed three
beautiful long stemmed yellow roses in my arms.
"When you go through the line, they will know
these are paid for." She leaned over and placed
a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again.

I wanted to tell her what she'd done, what the
roses meant, but still unable to speak, I watched
as she walked away as tears clouded my vision.
I looked down at the beautiful roses nestled in
the green tissue wrapping and found it almost
unreal. How did she know?

Suddenly the answer seemed so clear. I wasn't
alone. "Oh, Rudy, you haven't forgotten me, have
you?" I whispered, with tears in my eyes. He was
still with me, and she was his angel. Everyday be
thankful for what you have and who you are
