Letter To Heaven

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
