When our grandmother passed away, a friend of mine gave me a 'letter from heaven', entitled: Dear Family (Author: Summer Leigh). As a gesture of sympathy, I want to share it with you and your family.
From my family to yours, may God hold you in the palm of His hands, keeping you in His love and strength, during this very sad time.
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say,
But first of all to let you know that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from Heaven, where I dwell with God above,
Where there are no tears or sadness, there is just eternal Love.
Please do not be unhappy, just because I'm out of sight,
Remember that I'm with you, every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you, when my life on Earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me, and said, ' I welcome you'.
'It's good to have you back again.
You were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here so badly as part of my big plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man'.
Then God gave me a list of things he wished for me to do.
And foremost on that list of mine, is to watch and care for you.
I will be beside you, every day of the week and year,
And when you're sad I'm standing there, to wipe away the tears.
But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain.
Remember, there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you, of all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you would not understand.
And to my many friends…trust, God knows what is best.
I'm still not far away from you; I'm just beyond the crest.
And now I am contented that my life, it was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way, I made someone [laugh and] smile.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind,
I'm walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind.
And when you feel that gentle breeze or the wind upon your face,
That's me giving you a great big hug, or just a soft embrace.
And when it's time for you to go, from that body to be free,
Remember, you're not going; you are coming here to me.
And I will always love you [too], from that land way up above.
I'll be in touch soon, [DAD] sends his LOVE!
Amen.
Anita and The Rotondo Family xoxo.
