What do you do when a voice in your head keeps saying the same name... for over a month? If you're Wendy S. Burton, you eventually pick up the phone before you even have your morning coffee.

In Episode 9 of Winging It with Wendy, Wendy shares one of her most personal Angel stories yet — the one about her son Curtis, a border crossing that changed everything, a diagnosis that broke a family's heart, a little boy who said his mom came to visit him in the night, and a phone call that Wendy put off for far too long. It's the story of how loss and love and Angels all worked together, across years and thousands of kilometres, to bring exactly the right person to exactly the right door.
