This story, although fictional, is based on an encounter that writer/director Mark MacNicol's mother had with a spiritualist medium. The medium, a complete stranger to Mark's mother, approached Mrs. MacNicol and said they had a message from her oldest child, a daughter named Angela who was born about a year before Mark, but passed away shortly after delivery. The message from Angela was to let Mark know that he had a big sister and guardian angel in the spirit world.
