Do angels exist? They must, because I’ve seen them. Three in fact. Better than just seeing them, I felt their gentle touch as they cared for me lying injured on the footpath. They told me their names: Kaity, Tayla and Fleur.
I tried to get up but couldn’t. I thought of the distress my wife, Yael, and my children would suffer. They have been anxious that something like this would happen ever since I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Then the angels came.I can’t remember if I got myself onto the footpath or if someone put me there. “Stay back. Keep away from him. Don’t touch him. He might have injured his spine. He mustn’t be moved.
During this time, I became aware of the presence of Tayla and Fleur. Tayla had seen me fall. “You hit the deck really hard”, she said. She enjoyed using the expression “hit the deck”, which she repeated a few times, with a gentle laugh intended to reassure me because she assumed I would recognise in the tone of her laugh her belief that I was basically OK.Yael and I live nearby. I asked if someone could tell her what had happened and pleaded that they reassure her.
Fleur told me that her father had Parkinson’s and had died the week before. She suggested I create an Advanced Care Directive. That sounds like a grim conversation, but it wasn’t. We talked about many things on that footpath, Yael, the three angels and I. Some were personal. It often happens among strangers in situations when strong emotions encourage conventions to take a break for a while.
