Dear Mom and Dad, We just wanted you to know we made it home. The journey wasn’t an easy one, but it didn’t take long. Everything is so pretty here, so white,so fresh, so new. We wish that you could close your eyes and that you could see it too. Please try not to be sad for us, try to understand. God is taking care of us – We’re in the shelter of His hands. Here there is no sadness, no sorrow and no pain. Here there is no crying and We’ll never hurt again. Here it is so peaceful when all the angels sing. We really have to go for now- we’ve just got to try our wings!
