has a little red in it – and absolutely
beautiful. He seemed to shine and his clothes were long,
draping over him as his sleeves did over his hands, and yet,
when he raised his arms, the long sleeves seemed to roll back
so gracefully, as if they were a part of him. Elijah's face even
seemed to be that same rusty amber colour.
I was fascinated to see Elijah walking on the river; he was
coming towards me, but his feet were not touching the water.
'Can I do that, too?' I asked. He just laughed at me.
The ground was uneven on the river bank, with big tufts of
grass. Elijah invited me to sit down then sat beside me and
smiled. 'I'm glad to see you are not nervous of me,' he said.
'No, they told me you were coming,' I replied.
As I looked around I realised that all the angels that were
usually with me had disappeared except my guardian angel.
'Where have they all gone?' I said.
'They have gone away for a while,' he said. 'Now, I'm going
to hold your hand, Lorna.' He held out his hand to me and I
put my hand in his, and all I can say is, it was as if my hand got
lost in his, as if my hand became part of his hand. 'I don't want
you to feel afraid,' he said, 'because there is nothing to be afraid
of. This is something that you can look forward to when you
grow up; something that will happen to you.'
'Why do I need to know it now?' I said.
He didn't answer my question and instead said, 'You will see
someone and we will tell you about this person you are seeing.'
Then, it was as if a curtain was pulled back and I was
watching this big huge screen in the middle of the river in front
of me. In the vision I could see a pathway surrounded by trees;
I seemed to be sitting at the far end of the pathway, and I could
see a figure in the distance starting to walk through the trees
along the path. I looked at Elijah beside me and said, 'I can't
see very well.'
'Keep watching!' he replied.
As the figure got closer, I could see it was an extremely tall
young man with red hair. He was very, very handsome, as far
as I could make out. Then Elijah started talking again. 'You can
see him quite clearly now.'
I turned to the angel sitting beside me and nodded.
'Keep looking,' he said. 'We want you to remember what he
looks like. We won't show you any more, but what I need to
tell you is that this will be the young man that you will
marry. You will recognise him from this vision the first time
that you see him, many years from now – you have to grow
up first!'
I smiled and giggled at the idea of being in love, or married,
and asked Elijah, 'Is he big like that now?'
'No,' Elijah replied, 'he is only a young boy, too, a few years
older than you are.' Elijah continued talking, 'You will be very
happy with him – he will love you and you will love him. You
will have ups and downs, good times and not so good times.
You will have healthy children and they will all be very special,
too, but you will end up looking after him and God won't leave
him with you forever. You won't grow old together.'
I turned and looked at him and said, 'What do you mean,
Elijah, "looking after him"?'
'His health won't be the best,' Elijah replied, 'God will take
him one day, when he is still quite young.'
'I really don't want to know that,' I said.
But Elijah continued, 'Lorna, don't get cross, we just want
you to remember. We're preparing you for the future,
preparing you to be strong. Think of all the love and happiness
that you'll have. Just look at how handsome he is, you said so
yourself.'
I looked again and I could see him, and I said, 'Yes, he's
nice.'
Then the vision was gone and Elijah asked, 'Will you
remember that?'
'Yes,' I replied, 'I will remember, and I understand that he
won't be staying with me forever, and that I will have to look
after him.'
I turned around to Elijah and, despite my young age, said, 'I
will be strong.'
Elijah took my hand again; we got up and he walked with
me. After a little while he stopped and said, 'Don't think
beautiful. He seemed to shine and his clothes were long,
