The soul of an unborn baby asked God, “Are you going to send me to Earth tomorrow?”

God replied, “Yes.”

The baby said, “But here in heaven I am quite happy.”

God said, “Yes. I know you are happy here. But I have promised that angel on Earth that I will give you to her. Now, she is eagerly waiting for your arrival.”

The baby said, “How am I going to live there being so small, fragile and helpless? Who will protect me?”

God said, “Don’t worry. On Earth, your angel will take care of you.  She will smile and sing for you. She will engulf you with her love. She will protect you even at the cost of her own life. You will find solace and happiness in her loving bosom.”

Then the child asked God, “If I am to leave heaven may I know my angel’s name.”

God smiled and said, “Her name is ‘Mother’.”
