The Guardian Angel Short Story

The Guardian Angel “I have an operation, but if I make it past Wednesday I would love to,” this quote came from a young girl named Heather; she was in a wheelchair. Her and her sister Melanie, were hit by a drunk driver while riding their bikes, and Heather wad internal organ damage. Christopher Bonvie had attended a conference in Orlando, Florida for the Children’s Miracle Network when he got the chance to meet these young girls.
