The moment was finally here. For the past nine months, everyone had been working towards this instant. The previous months had been filled with a flurry of activity. Planning, shopping, creating a resting place, a safe place for this tiny creature to live and grow. Not that this being hadn’t been present for the entire time. He had been; cuddled in a dark, warm place unseen by humans. Off to the side stood the one assigned to this particular child. From the foundation of the earth, this one had been. This was not his first assignment, nor most likely his last. The assignment began at the moment of conception and would continue until this one was escorted home again. Through the ages, this event was repeated over and over once with every assignment. None of the others in the bright room acknowledged him. None of them appreciated what he had done so far to protect this little one. If one were truthful, none of them even believed that the guardian existed no less that he had been an active part of the child’s life so far. There were others in the room like the guardian, one for each human being in the room. There could have been agents from the other side there as well, but they were prevented from interference by the prayers of the saints. An indignant howl pierced through the symphony of voices and the joy filled, pain induced cry of the mother. The child’s earth journey had begun.
