Letter from Heaven

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say... but first of all to let you know that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven, here I dwell with God above. Here there is no sadness, here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I am out of sight. Remember I am with you every morning noon and night. The day I had to leave when my life on earth were through, God picked me up and hugged me and said I welcome you. And when you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind, I'm walking in your footsteps only a half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go from that body to be free, remember you're not going.... you're coming here to me.

To Mom
