I hope you enjoy this. I have been singing the Sarah McLachan version of 'Arms of the Angel' and it inspired me to write this. Enjoy ‘Spend all your time waiting for that second chance for the break that will make it ok There's always some reason to feel not good enough And it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction, oh beautiful release Memories seep from my veins They may be empty and weightless, and maybe I'll find some peace tonight In the arms of an Angel, fly away from here From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn There's vultures and thieves at your back The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies That you make up for all that you lack It don't make no difference, escaping one last time It's easier to believe In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness That brings me to my knees In the arms of an Angel, far away from here From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here. You’re in the arms of the angel, may you find some comfort here.’ I sat back and watched the guys – My guys, in a way, singing that song and it reduced me to tears! Then their work was over for the day and that they could all go home. Dominic came towards me saw me crying and held me close to him and stroked my hair softly. That song had a real effect on me, ever since the first time I heard it! It had meant so much to me and after I was told it was sung with us girls in mind – us girls being me, Ella, Rose and Rachael! – We all went to our separate homes and I sat, in silence, in the arms of my angel! Then my beloved said… “Marry me?” “WHAT!” “Hun, you know I love you and we’ve been together for 5 years! I have to have you in my life forever! Please marry me!” “Yes!” “WHAT!” “Yes I will! “Really! You mean I’ll have you in my life forever?” “Forever and a day if you want me! Do you want me?” “Well, I’ll have the think about that!........ Um…. YES!” That night ended up with us getting involved in a major tickling fight! One time I almost fell off the sofa, but he caught me just in time and I was safe, out of breath but safe. We decided to call it a night and went upstairs to bed and there again I lay contently in his arms! Then a thought hit me… “Dom, do you remember what we did 3 months ago?” “Yes, I do. And I loved you even then.” “I should hope so!” “What about it darling?” “Well, it worked!” “What do you mean ‘it worked’?” “I mean it worked!” “I still don’t get it!” “Dom, I’m pregnant!” “REALLY?” “Yes, I am. Do you not want it then?” “I….um… Of course… I do… um…” “You don’t’ want it then, you would know if you did!” I got up and out of bed and locked myself in the bathroom, morning sickness chose this time to pop up so at least I was in the right place! A few months later and I was getting a bump, and quite a large one too. Dom was loving it, he took care of me. Just like he always had. I remember it so very well…. it was my 19th birthday….
