you may literally be saying "my angel", however, it is not a term of endearment in gaelic and would sound very odd.

Juice of my heart
It means Juice of my heart literally.

Why don`t you use "A dhiomhain!" .. or "a mheapain" also a commonly used endearment between close family.

I believe this means 'My Darling', although I am open to correction.
