Finished

This morning I received an email letting me know that one of my dearest friends from our time in Boston had passed away. I was so very happy for her, I just cried.

If you are interested, at this link you'll find something I wrote about this sweet woman many years ago. Which will explain my joy at her entrance into heaven last night.

Both of the women in the story I shared, who were my counselors during a church responsibility of mine that was both overwhelmingly beautiful and so very intense, have gone on to their heavenly home. I will love them forever for how they served and loved and cared. They both became close friends of mine for this life and the next.

So picturing their reunion in heaven last night has me a bit jealous. I long to be with them again someday and just feel so joyful for both of them, for how well they lived mortality and that heaven is their home again.

Heaven is real. I know that as deeply as I know anything. And one more person I love is waiting there to welcome me back one day. I'm so grateful.
