~Emmie's 1 year in Heaven mark~

Mama,

I went home to see Jesus, back to that Heavenly place.

He said it was time for me to go, although I knew I'd miss your face.

Don't cry for me now, it's so beautiful here.

I want you to always feel that I am near.

I'm surrounded by angels, family & friends,

God the Father, the Savior, the list never ends.

If you only could see me now. I can run, I can sing,

Oh the sweet joy that only Heaven could bring.

I miss you so much, but I visit you often.

Just close your eyes & I'll whisper, the pain I will soften.

Thank you for giving me my earthly body while there,

& always brushing my long brunette hair.

You were the best Mom I could ever have had

Now take of yourself, Ava, Elsie, Ivan & Dad.

I'll see you sooner than you probably think

The Savior comes quickly, so don't you dare blink.

I love you so much & I want you to know

That I still see Strawberry Shortcake up here too...on the front row. ;)

~Emmie
