"I felt the light of heaven, it was shining down on me, I heard His voice, He called my name, "my child, come follow Me;" There is no pain, there is no hurt, nor sadness anywhere, in heaven there is joy and love and I'll be waiting there; for on the day I left this earth I felt your many tears, and now I watch you from above and keep you very near; it hurts to be apart from me, but be patient for the day, when we meet again in love and peace when you too come this way." - Author unknown
