Everything was quiet when I blinked awake in the darkness. My husband, Bob, was fast asleep beside me. But I\u2019d heard someone call<\/a>, \u201cMom!\u201d I was sure of it. One of the kids,<\/em> I thought, dragging myself out of bed. Probably just a nightmare.<\/em><\/p>\n

I checked the rooms where my two younger daughters slept. Eight-year-old Elizabeth was fast asleep in her bed. So was 10-year-old Sarah. Cosmo, our Jack Russell, lifted his head from the living room sofa as I went up the stairs. \u201cShh, it\u2019s okay,\u201d I whispered. And it was. Fourteen-year-old Amy was in her upstairs bedroom, sleeping as peacefully as her sisters. \u201cGuess it was my own nightmare<\/a>,\u201d I whispered to Cosmo as I passed by him again. \u201cThe girls are fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was one child I couldn\u2019t check on, and I still hadn\u2019t gotten used to that. My eldest, Matt, was finishing up his second year at Texas A&M in College Station, some 800 miles away from where we were living in Smyrna, Tennessee. Matt was due home for a visit the following night, but would soon return to Texas for a summer internship. I\u2019d accepted his being away during the school year. Now I\u2019d have to give him up for the summer too.<\/p>\n

I hope he doesn\u2019t miss his flight tomorrow,<\/em> I thought as I slipped back into my bedroom. I knew Matt was old enough to take care of himself, but as a mother it was hard not to worry<\/a>. He had trouble being punctual in the best of circumstances, and I knew he\u2019d want to celebrate the end of finals. Packing would surely take a backseat. When he was at home I could remind him of the time, but with him far away in Texas\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cIf one of the girls called out to me, she\u2019s asleep now,\u201d I whispered to Bob as I got back into bed. He didn\u2019t answer. He\u2019d missed the whole thing. I prayed myself back to sleep, calling on Matt\u2019s guardian angel to check on him in my absence. I didn\u2019t dare call the dorm at this hour.<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t have been sleeping long when I was awoken again. This time by a loud scream. I jumped up and looked at the clock. It was a little after 2 A.M.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you hear that?\u201d I asked Bob.<\/p>\n

He listened with me for a long moment, but we heard nothing. \u201cI must really be dreaming tonight,\u201d I said. But I couldn\u2019t settle myself down. I couldn\u2019t get that scream out of my head. Again, I went out to the living room. This time, I scooped Cosmo up in my arms. Something wasn\u2019t right.<\/a><\/p>\n

Cosmo and I made the rounds. \u201cEverybody\u2019s fine here,\u201d I said to him. So why did I feel so uneasy? That particular kind of uneasy of a mother for her child. If my three here were okay, that left only one who might be in trouble.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod, please keep Matt safe,\u201d I asked out loud in the darkness. \u201cIf he is in trouble, send his guardian angel<\/a>. Send Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and all the heavenly host to come to his aid.\u201d Only after I\u2019d finished my prayer was I calm enough to go back to bed.<\/p>\n

I woke up early, and it took several tries for me to reach Matt at the dorm. \u201cI\u2019m fine, Mom,\u201d he said, his voice groggy with sleep.<\/p>\n

Thank heavens!<\/em> I must have been even more worried than I thought<\/a> about Matt missing his flight. Enough to give myself nightmares. But whether warranted or not, fervent prayers for my growing son were never a bad idea.<\/p>\n

Making his flight with plenty of time to spare, Matt arrived home late that night. As soon as he hugged me, I knew something was wrong. Instead of his usual tight, affectionate squeeze, he embraced me quickly with one arm, favoring his side. \u201cIt\u2019s a long story,\u201d he said when I asked him what happened. \u201cI\u2019ll tell you in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will tell me right now,\u201d I said. \u201cOtherwise, I won\u2019t sleep. Again!\u201d<\/p>\n

Little by little, it came out. Matt had gone to a party off-campus to celebrate the end of exams. While Matt and a friend were waiting outside for their ride back to the dorms, four young men approached, looking for trouble<\/a>. \u201cWe tried to ignore them, but they were determined to pick a fight,\u201d Matt said. \u201cWe went down pretty fast. I remember lying on the sidewalk, curled up, protecting my head while somebody kicked me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt paused and frowned, as if in confusion. \u201cThe next thing I knew, I was leaning on a car down the street. One second I was on the ground, the next I was yards away. I ran back over to my friend, who was talking with EMTs. I didn\u2019t even see the ambulance arrive. I\u2019m a little bruised and my friend needed stitches, but we\u2019re okay.\u201d Matt shook his head. \u201cI just don\u2019t understand how I got where I was. I asked my friend, but he couldn\u2019t tell me either.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat time of night was this all happening?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cAround two,\u201d he said. \u201cI watched the time because I didn\u2019t want to be out too late. I had a plane to catch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two o\u2019clock. Perhaps Matt\u2019s guardian angel had awakened me that night, calling for my prayers to alert all the angels in heaven to the situation before anyone was seriously injured. And as scary as things got, Matt deserved credit for good planning\u2014not only about not staying out too late, but also in arranging for a ride home from the party. Maybe I\u2019d never stop worrying about him completely. Maybe no mother could ever do that. But I could trust my son to make responsible decisions\u2014and trust God to be with him<\/a> while he did it. Even when he was far from home\u2014and me\u2014Matt was never far from angelic protection.<\/p>\n
