the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.”

Dear
Friends and Schoolmates,
We all have more
angels walking among us than we realize. We generally call them our dear friends.
BONUS - Angels - Robbie Williams
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angels_%28Robbie_Williams_song%29:
| "Angels" is a song originally part written by uncredited
Irish songwriter, Ray Heffernan and covered by
Robbie Williams. Williams and
Guy Chambers were subsequently credited as "joint co-writers" and
the song was released as a single in December 1997.[1]
It became the singer's biggest selling single and has been voted the
best song of the past 25 years at the
BRIT Awards. "Angels" has since been covered by many artists
including
Jessica Simpson,
Beverley Knight, in Spanish (as Ángel) by Mexican singers
Yuridia
and
Marco Moré, in Italian (as Un Angelo) by
Patrizio Buanne,
All
Angels, singer
Declan Galbraith as well as
Verena Von Strenge's latest group, Moon Dust, and
American Idol series 7 runner-up
David Archuleta. "Angels" was the fourth single from Williams' debut album, Life Thru a Lens. It has been credited with saving the singer's floundering solo career, and is used to conclude almost all of his concerts. The song was the 38th best selling of 1997 in the UK, and the 26th of 1998. It was the 34th best selling single of the decade. Despite only reaching a peak of No.4, it is Williams' biggest selling UK single and according to Official UK Charts Company figures passed the million sales mark in June 2009, with a combination of both physical and download sales. It was released in 1999 in the U.S., after his debut of "Millennium." The U.S. released video has Williams atop a roof, watching the city below. "Angels" re entered the ARIA Top 100 at 91, on 5 May 2008.[2] Due to download sales, the song has re-entered the UK Charts on a number of occasions in recent years. The writing credits attributed to the song were Robbie Williams and Guy Chambers. However, it later emerged that an unknown Irish songwriter, Ray Heffernan actually composed much of the song a year earlier.[3] In an interview with RTE, Heffernan said that he met Williams in a Dublin pub and brought him back to his home where they embarked on a songwriting session. Heffernan played him the basis of what would become "Angels" and they recorded an early version of it. Heffernan acknowledges however that Guy Chambers later added the chorus. Heffernan was paid £7,500 for the use of the song, relinquishing any rights to royalties. He was uncredited as a songwriter but received a cryptic message on the CD, saying: "Even fallen angels laugh last, thanks to Ray Heffernan". Robbie Williams has said that he wrote the song with Guy Chambers in 25 minutes and the song is about his aunt and uncle. Williams and Chambers were sitting outside a cafe watching a water fountain, this is what inspired them for the chorus...[4] |

“She wasn’t much for words, but she told me she loved me in other ways,
like showing me her main superpower—invisibility.
I often wouldn’t see her for weeks straight, and for her to show me the
unshowable showed a lot of trust in our relationship.” - Jarod Kintz(b. 05 Mar 1982) |

No matter how old you are, or where you are from, people simply can’t know
everything. However, if you have an inquisitive mind, you probably love learning new things. If this is the case, then these 21 facts will give your mind a good workout. (Plus, you can impress others with this exotic knowledge.) WOWZERS! Thanks, Dools! |

FINALLY:
From www.ajokeaday.com - 09/16/15:
| I was driving
down the road when I saw a lady standing by her car. When I pulled over
to see if I could help she turned around holding a rabbit. She explained that she had run over the rabbit and she thought it was going to die. I so wanted to help her, I went back to my car and came back with a can of spray. I sprayed some in the rabbit's mouth and it twitched its head a little. I waited a little while and sprayed some more in its mouth and it twitched its head a couple of times. Not much later I sprayed more in its mouth and the rabbit sprang from her arms and ran to the fence by the field, stopped, turned around and waived its paw at us. We watched it run 50 feet, stop, turn and wave its paw at us. The lady looked at me in amazement and asked, "WHAT WAS THAT YOU GAVE THAT RABBIT?" I replied, "Oh, just a little hair rejuvenator with permanent wave." |

Originally
part written by uncredited Irish songwriter, Ray Heffernan and covered by

Recorded by

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we're grey and old
'Cause I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
Chorus
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
Chorus
And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead
