Yes, VR; and I believe I have two, not just one, guardian angels....

I do not wish to rude or offensive, but I have a deep problem with the concept of guardian angels. What do they guard? Our physical selves?

I spent most of a decade dealing with families that abuse and neglect their children. And these were American kids, infinitely lucky by world standards. It always struck me that angles who guarded healthy and capable adults should visit the ghetto occasional and guard unlucky children.

You probably noted that I was being flippant with this remark, going for a little humor to get VR to lighten up a bit.... I take no offense whatever, and don't think you're being rude, js1138.

But since you ask a serious question, my understanding is the mission of guardian angels is to have the "care of souls," not of the physical body. Certainly "my two" have been giving me every reason to suspect they have always been and still are very worried about mine! :^)
