Letter To Heaven
Things left undone
Dear Mom,
You left something behind
during your last visit.
I am not sure what to call it? Perhaps,
this was something from your childhood?
Your granddaughter adores it. I had to get a tie and hook for it
so that she could attach it to a loop in her backpack.
She carefully tucked it, like she does, into an the inside pocket.
You know the one, where she likes to keep her wishing objects?
You know she doesn't like to wear necklaces, so a chain was out of the
question!
I have been so busy that I haven't had time to open the small envelope
you left for me. It is difficult to have time to myself when my daughter
takes up all my free time.

Hi again! Since I hadn't sent the letter yet I decided to add to it
before mailing.
I finally opened the envelope.
I assumed it was a letter that you forgot to send snail mail.
You are always in my thoughts.
You are always in my heart.
Grandchildren are a joy for the soul.
I know you are watching over my daughter.
I just wish you had met her while you were still living.
All my love,
Your Daughter

Congrats on Top Story!🥳🥳🥳
Congratulations for top story I agree sometimes we are to much busy or fed up not even wants to do little things
Heartwarming and sad - so well written. Congrats on top story!
Your beautiful message creates a soothing hug that transcends absence by tying love and memories together.
Jennifer, this is so poignant and resonates for all of us asking all those existential questions about heaven, family, life, and love. Thanks you for sharing and congrats on TS!
The story is so touchy that reminds one of endless journey. Good one dear.
Wow! what a spiritual dialogue of daughter in a lighthearted mood whose warmth and fragrance goes to the deep roots of reader's heart. EXCELLENT.
I love this. It reminds me of conversations I have with my father now that he's passed. My son calls the jacket he inherited his "hug from Grandpa." Sometimes kids are much better at grieving than we are.
Lovely and sad both together.
"wishing objects" Oh yes, this really hit me. Congratulations on your top story
