What does an angel do?

I read on here somewhere to find someone to be your angel...what does that mean and what does that person do and how do you find someone to be your angel?

Angels are support people.....They can do as much or as little as you want.....They usually give support call you in the hospital give updates on the board and just be there if you need to talk or whatever......If you decide you want an angel just post and ask, a lot of times it is nice having someone who has already been through it all......Best of luck and don't be afraid to ask Jesi

Thanks so much! Sounds like some support that I will really need.

Also, always remember that these boards, the Iowa boards especially, are full of wonderful people whom I think are angels! There is soooo much support on here that it is wonderful! Remember, like Jesi said, just post asking for an angel, or send an e-mail to someone that you have corresponded with and feel you may have a connection with. God bless, Andrea
