Dear Heaven


Grandma with Uncle Dean two weeks ago!
Dear Heaven,
I wanted to write to you and tell you about your most amazing angel that you received this week! She will be one of your sweetest angels. If you want proof of this fact, ask any of her adoring grandchildren or one of her many great-grandchildren. She has cared for all of us even though we were suppose to be taking care of her. Be aware of her wonderful sense of humor! She will get you when you least expect it. If you ever need gospel knowledge, she is the one to go to. She has read the scriptures many times and will be able to help you with any problem by quoting to you a scripture. If you can talk her into it, have her make you an apple pie. You will never taste anything so sweet. Not because of the sugar that was put into it but because of the time and love that was put into the making! If you find yourself not feeling so well or feel your heart is breaking, she will be beside you all the way as you work through it. She will put a bandage on that heart of yours and give you hope for tomorrow! She will put a soft blanket around your shoulders and comfort your fears until they are gone. She will also remind you of the love your Heavenly Father has for you! It won't be because she tells you of His l0ve but you will feel it because that is how she lives.
Please let her dance and sing! Don't separate her anymore from her adoring husband and her beautiful baby. Let her rock her baby to bed each night. She will be missed here on earth but we all understand that she is in better hands now! Please let her know how much I love her. Tell her what a huge blessing she has been in my life and in the life of countless others. Thank her for her many words of wisdom and for her priceless advice. Please give her a hug for me and for all those who feel of her loss! Even though it is Our loss, we know it is her gain.
Love,
Jody
