“Mother of 4, bonus mom of 2, Noni of 4. My trade is nursing and as a current home health RN and former hospice RN, I have embraced what it truly means to live and love. I have only two goals in life- no fear and no regrets when it’s time to go home.”
“Letter from Heaven’s Crib”
Mommy! Mommy! Surprise!! Jesus told me about today. He says it’s special and that I get to tell you more about it here. I get to snuggle in his lap while he tells us all stories. I get to play with a lot of people who love you. But my favorite part is playing in your soul garden. Did you know we all have a soul garden and mommy yours is the prettiest and bestest one here! Jesus comes to play with us in the garden a lot. Sometimes he brings your tears, sifts the love from the sad and then the fun really begins! Your love sometimes takes wings and tickles my toes. Sometimes it hugs me and smells like you. Sometimes it sings that song I remember. The more love sifted the longer we get to play. Jesus says a mothers love is the closest thing on earth to his love and GUESS WHAT!! It Never ever dies!! So when love is finished playing- it plants in your garden and blooms. Jesus always laughs when I squeal in surprise to see the beautiful bloom of your love. Today he told me about the sad he sifts from your tears. I wanted to get rid of it for you. He keeps is stored an a beautiful box with a gem lock. He says that Only he can hold your sad and only you can let it go. He giggles a little when he talks about the celebration of your homecoming… I think he has a surprise for you but you really can’t tell about Jesus. I only know it has to something awesome! Untill we celebrate, send some happy. Jesus says that happy is the belly laughs of the garden. Happy mommy’s day. I love you.
