I am thinking about you today. So many things are happening in my life that I want to share with you. I have grown as a person. Can you see that from where you are? Sometimes I look to the skies trying to see your face beyond the stars. I wish. I wish I could. Do wishes ever come true? I close my eyes and focus my mind, meditating on one thought: “let Dad see me and hear me!”

So many times when we were together you could finish my sentences. I could read your thoughts. We connected so well. Up in heaven, there must be so many different distractions I’m not familiar with. My life has also changed so much. We are both walking in different directions. Are these directions opposite from each other?

Do you feel my heart reaching out to yours? I’m trying to send my thoughts toward your mind so you can understand how I’ve grown and changed. My arms long to hold you in a loving hug. So many memories flood my mind: using my new shoes as brakes when I rode my bike; watching you light snakes on the sidewalk every 4th of July; reading your refrigeration manuals; riding behind you on the motorcycle; discussing Bible passages; your walking me down the aisle and placing my hand in Jim’s…the list goes on and on in my head and my heart.

Does our connection end at the grave? Something so strong cannot. Our beliefs in the Bible and the sacrifice of Christ are bonds that cannot be broken. I’m still here on earth, struggling through the difficulties from day to day. You are up in heaven, with your process over. Your time is spent with your Lord and your mother and other loved ones. You are spending your time keeping busy up there. Do you have time for memories?

There are no answers anyone knows. Heaven is a mystery. I’m reaching out to you. I miss you every single day.

I remember you. Do you remember me?
