THE EVER AFTER

This was a short letter I wrote for a contest, which I won. A letter from my mother to me.

 

THE EVER AFTER

Hello, my darlin

How are you doing in your life? Fine I hope. Well as for me I'm singing(not out of tune ok) and praising the Almighty God. It is very cloudy here, like you are walking on clouds. And also there's pearly gates as high as you could imagaine. We all precious souls walks through them. When it is your time to join me, I'll be at the front gate to welcome you.

We ride white horses, the angels in white robes with gold wings. Also we have Sunday services with a band(SOME MUSICIANS ARE HERE ALSO). MOMMY IS ALRIGHT. The ever after is beautiful and peaceful and very much rewarding.

Grand-ma and grand-dad send their love. Remember to carry me in your spirit. Oh, yea we don't sleep here our job is to watch over our love ones.

I asked the Lord when it is your time to come, please let it be simple not suffering.Our garments are as white as snow. (Tide can't get clothes this white.)

LOVE

YOUR HEAVELY MOTHER

Heart tugging to say the least. Very nicely done. Love the line about Tide, it made me chuckle.

I've always thought when we take our final journey we become energy because we are released from our physical forms. Hence we would have no need for what we would call material here -- like clothes or food.

This was a hard read for me, because I have also lost my mother. It is something I think I never fully healed from. I love the letter it gives hope and is almost a testimony for things to come. Of course, I like the ending about Tide not being able to get white that white, cute! This was a good write~
