Snow White may be a princess to a few, but this is a story about a princess that lived today. She was born in Maine and had a regular family, just like all the families in Maine. This princess was the third child of a very loving and caring family, like so many in her town. She would be labeled Ann Marie. That seemed not to bother her at all when she was brought home from the hospital. In fact, it was okay until she hit that old age of about thirteen or fourteen. Neither Ann Marie nor any of her folks were aware that she was a princess. She asked her mom one day, "How many teenagers do you know that are called Ann Marie?" Mom gave one of those mom looks and said, “Ummm...none, but that's what makes you so unique.” "Why not George, or Harvey or Annie?” this sweet little angel sighed. That settled it. Teenage law prevailed. It would be Annie. Mom knew there were two things you didn’t argue with. Teenagers were both of them. Oh, how the Princess Rescuer had his work cut out for him. It started one day when Annie met a guy on the Internet. Soon, this young princess got dreams in her head. Dreams as real as night and day. This sweet princess fell in love and the love in her heart affected her eyes. Kirk made promises that would end up tearing the heart out of Princess Annie. One of the most painful hurts is a broken heart. There's no medicine or doctor that can heal it. It cannot be bandaged or splinted. There's only two cures known to exist. Time will heal it, but for a fifteen-year-old princess time takes too long. It has to be Princess Dust applied as soon as possible. The Princess Rescuer was the only hope for Annie. Annie’s mom and dad didn’t know about the Princess Rescuer, and their hearts broke for her. Moms and Dads are completely ignorant for the first twenty years of a child’s life. They know nothing. But from the twentieth to twenty-first year, it's a miracle how smart they become. Annie couldn’t wait. If she couldn’t have Kirk, she'd rather die. The Princess Rescuer couldn’t let this happen. Just a few days later, Annie was on the Internet and read a story. This story touched her heart. She emailed the author and told him how much it meant to her. Annie was unaware that the author was the Princess Rescuer. He replied to her message and thanked her for the things she said to him. Annie didn’t know why, but she was drawn to him. He was old and wise, and he listened and understood. Annie didn’t realize the miracle that was about to happen. This strange being told her he was the Princess Rescuer, and she was a princess. She wanted to laugh, but there was something different about him. His honesty, his words made her feel so much better. Annie would find out he was more than just a Princess Rescuer. The very next day Annie was at her computer and a message pop-up came on her screen. It was from someone she never heard of. It read: "Hi, Princess." She knew immediately who it was. She typed, "Hi. How are you?" She didn’t understand how, or why he did this, so she asked. "I care about you," he said, "and I'm the Princess Rescuer." Annie felt a little better with each entry she received from this stranger. She was unaware the Princess Dust came with those messages. She promised she would give life one more chance. The Princess Rescuer said his goodbyes that day and promised Annie that tomorrow they'd talk again. Annie felt something different in her heart that night when she got ready for bed. Her Princess Rescuer was actually her Guardian Angel. He was on his knees with his Father for hours that night. He was afraid of losing his Annie and he needed help. He pleaded that he would be able to convince her of what was just a short way ahead. A person that would sweep her off her feet. A young man right under her nose who was too close for Annie to see. Someone that would care for her when she was sick, love her when she needed love, and be her best friend until death did them part. God answered that prayer that night. Soon the days turned to weeks and the weeks turned to years. One evening just before Christmas, Annie was watching her two beautiful boys playing with their dad. Her thoughts went back to the Christmas of 2002. Oh, what if the stranger that called himself the Princess Rescuer hadn’t saved me? I can’t picture my life without my family. Then on her computer screen a message popped up. It said, ”Hi, Princess." Annie, with tears in her eyes, asked, "Where have you been? I missed you." He typed, “I was by your side always. I cried with you during the hard times. I laughed with you during the happy times. Princess, always be aware. You never know when an angel will entertain you. I love you, Annie."
