Heaven isn't too far away

Maybe it’s not even about seeing someone or something “again.” Maybe it’s about seeing them for the first time. All I can really say is I’ve seen these people in pictures. Wanting to see just more than that, well, would be one heck of a wish. But on the important note, Heaven has them safe until I get there.

The lucky two I am writing about would definitely be my Aunt Debbie and Uncle Larry, siblings of my dad. The two were born with Cystic Fibrosis, a common chronic lung disease in children and young adults. Which, in a result that led them home to Jesus.

Pictures and stories show the love that took place. When Gramma gets on the subject, she never fails to mention how Dad want us to show the love and enjoyment every passing moment we can just as Bruce and Dad did with Debbie and Larry. They may not have ever known what would later happen, but they knew they always needed to show their love, to everyone. Gramma teaches well huh?

If Heaven wasn’t so far away, we’d pack up our bags and go for a day. But until then, the first meet will be some amount of time. And I can say I’m ok with that. stayed at Debbie’s bed side or how Larry loved her home-made birthday cakes. In EVERY picture, there was always a smile on each of their faces.

I never had the chance to meet them, and If so, I was a baby. But having a wish to be able to meet them or see them today would be incredible. All I’ve got are the pictures and stories and for now.

My dad and Uncle Bruce, I do believe, have raised my sisters, myself, and my four cousins to have fun, love, and cherish. And I could say I see why. You never know when you see your last tomorrow. So, with that being said, they want us to show the love and enjoyment every passing day we can just as Bruce and Dad did with Debbie and Larry. They may not have ever known what would later happen, but they knew they always needed to show their love, to everyone. Gramma teaches well huh?
