Blessed to have my next door angel

You call someone an Angel who comes and spreads happiness and love around without any reason.

So this is a story of a family where relationships were abusive, critical, and the home’s overall environment was full of negativity.

Although living within a modern apartment, their fight was a regular phenomenon in the home. If some family member completes some work, other family members know how to find faults in the task. This angel was residing next door; she lived as a nuclear family with her kid and hubby. Her hubby stayed on tours most of the time, and she had ample time with her. This angel made lots of friends, but she often hears the fights and cries within this family. Initially, she ignored and stayed away, as she has no business interfering in this family. And secondly, she cannot say that your voices are so loud that she can hear everything in her home as well.

Introduction

Often she used to feel so shattered that why it is so vital to criticize others within the family and why we cannot love our family. One day, she met the lady of the house in the lift, and the angel said: “Hello, aunty.” The lady replied, and that’s when she realized this was the time and initiated the conversation. She said I live in Fl. No., which is next to your flat. The lady said, it’s good we have lovely neighbors like you. Let us know if you need something; the angel replied, sure, aunty; I’ll surely come to have tea with you sometime. The lady replied, “yes, why not.” Deep down, the lady was under the notion that we are already negatively famous in our block, who will come to our house.

Friendly Visits of Angel

But this angel rang the doorbell the next day in the evening and brought her kid along. She knew that no one was expecting her. But she sat and started to speak regarding whereabouts and other general topics, to have a general introduction. The lady introduced her to the rest of the family members, and she served tea to the angel. The angel left that day after small chit-chat and drink.

She made sure that now she would visit this family, and she started coming almost every alternate day. The family started feeling strange, and they started criticizing this angle as well for her uninvited visits. But still, this angel made it a point to go and laugh with this family.

Why did this angel go to this house when she knows there is lots of negativity around? Further, when this family was framing her negatively. This angel has so many friends in society. Still, the angel goes.

I think it’s then, she thought of bringing some happiness to this family, without any real benefit. She could have avoided as most of us do daily, saying it’s none of our business, but she didn’t do so. As we speak, let’s do our bit of good, and here she was doing it.

This angle is presently settled in some other country but left some beautiful memories to think about for this family. The family is still the same. May God bless this family!
