Angel Miracle Story for Calypso 

written by his new owner Valerie, from South Weymouth, MA.

"The Angels Help a Christmas Miracle To Keep on Giving"

The Calypso Chumley Story

A real friendship stays in our hearts, even when we do not stay in touch.   Two friends, Janet and Valerie were long time friends that went through their teen years and early adult life together.

But as often happens during their mid years they sadly lost touch.  Even though their hearts were still connected by love, they did not know where the other lived or how their lives were going.

Valerie's husband had a heart attack in mid October of 2004.  A get well card arrived from her husband's boss signed by Janet's daughter.  Valerie instantly recognized the last name.   With her husband's help, Valerie and Janet were reconnected just in time for the holidays.

It was truly a Christmas miracle!  The two friends rejoiced as they shared the details of the years past.

The most joyful Christmas news that Janet shared was the beautiful Silver Persian kitten that she just got and named Joshua.

That name hit Valerie very hard.  That was the name of her first born precious grandson who had passed away unexpectedly the year before from asthma.

Valerie was still in such grief over Josh's death that just hearing his name made Valerie really pay attention to Janet's new kitten.

Valerie went to the Silverpersians.com website where Janet got Joshua.  She was very impressed by the wonderful kitten pictures, and also with the information that she learned about Angels.

Valerie's happy Christmas news was about the purchase of a vacation home that was close to Joshua's burial spot in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

Neither friend knew at the time how those Christmas purchases would keep on giving.

Early in the New Year, Valerie was visiting an antique store near her new NH home.  She was very attracted to an oil painting of a long haired kitten sitting on a rose.  She did not know exactly why, but she knew she had to have it, and proudly hung it in her NH home, in a very prominent place.

On March 29, the birthday of both Janet's and Valerie's first born daughters, a terrible thing happened.  This really put the Angels in motion to bring comfort and renewal to Valerie.

Valerie's daughter June, the mother of Joshua, came home from her birthday dinner celebration to find the cat that her son Joshua had befriended just a few weeks before he died, lying dead on her sofa.

Oh how could that be?  SO SAD!  This news hit Valerie very hard.  She knew Joshua loved that cat.  He was determined to find this cat a forever home.

But Josh died in his sleep, unexpectedly.   The cat lived with his family until his mom's birthday this year.  How could this be?  Josh's cat died unexpectedly too?

Valerie did not know exactly why, but she was now obsessed with finding a cat of her own.  She started to search.  She looked on the Internet and looked at many kitten pictures.  But could not make a decision.

Valerie's friend Janet, not knowing that Valerie was searching for a kitten, just happened to email Valerie a birthday picture of her first Silver Persian Lily Grace from Silverpersians.com.

That sent Valerie back to the Silverpersians website where Valerie saw the pictures of a litter of Silver Persians born on April 11, 2005.  Isn't that a message of Angels numbers she thought.?

As Valerie scrolled down the kitten pictures of that litter her heart skipped a beat.  She saw little Calypso's three week old picture for the very first time.  She thought, as she gazed at the adorable face, I have seen this little soul before.  Why does he look so familiar?  If he is available he must be mine.

Valerie was able to claim him as her own and would visit his website often to look at his pictures and to watch him grow.  It was on one of these weekly visits that Valerie was thunder struck!  For as she gazed at Calypso's fifth week old picture she suddenly realized why he looked so familiar.

He was the kitten in the oil painting that Valerie had bought from the antique store in NH before he was even born. That was why she was so attracted to it!  It was Calypso announcing his arrival.

Now Valerie also remembered another picture, a coloring book picture.  The picture was found just blowing in the wind by Valerie's other daughter Angela just a few weeks after her grandson Joshua died.

It too was a picture of a cat.  This cat had a halo and with it was a flying winged Angel.  The Angel was flying over clouds and mountains just like in NH where Joshua is buried.  

The cat with the halo was pointing to a path that said, find your way, pointing to another baby angel with a halo.

Wow, suddenly it all made sense to Valerie.  Now she could see all the many miracle signs that were messages from the Angels to bring her comfort, renewal and LOVE.

All this to brighten an every day dark world caused by death.

Yes, little Calypso, now Calypso Chumley, was born to be a comforter sent by the Angels to be Valerie's Cherub Chum.

Now Valerie and Janet sure know that dark clouds can have a Silver lining if it is a Silver Persian kitten from Linda's house that is.

After reading this story, don't you believe in Angels?
