The song “In the arms of an Angel” has been playing in my head for most of the weekend. I tried to resist the urge to download it but I could not. I listened to it knowing it would make me cry and it did.

It is one of the songs from the soundtrack of the movie “City of Angels”. It is a movie David and I watched several years ago. David liked the story a lot, in fact he selected it and made me watch it. It is a story of love {SPOILER ALERT}, about an angel who gave up his immortality just to be with the woman he loved. Sadly, the woman died soon after he became a mortal being. When asked if he regretted the decision to be mortal, he responded that he would rather one moment with her than an eternity without her.

That was the punchline for David and he used to tell me that he would have done the same thing for me and give up anything without regrets. He was truly a romantic guy and fondly told me he was hopelessly in love.

I have avoided watching any movies or shows that David and I used to enjoy together knowing it would only bring tears and sadness. Well last night, I was on the slippery slope and after crying to the first song, I listened to another song “Iris” from the movie and that brought more tears. As the evening progressed, I could not resist the urge to watch the movie. I thought I would be a complete basket case watching it but I was not. As I watched the love unfold, I focused more on the love story and rather than the sadness of the premature death. I felt encouraged by the love I shared with David and believing that he is in the arms of the angels and also hoping that somehow he was watching over me.
