LETTER FROM HEAVEN
To My Dearest Family and Friends;
Theres's some things I'd like to say, But first of all to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writting this letter from Heaven, here I dwell with God above. Here there's no more tears of sadness, there's just eternal love! Please do not be unhappy-just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm here with you, every every morning, noon, and night. That day I had to leave you, when my time on earth was through-God picked me up and hugged me and said "I welcome you." It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone....As for your dearest family and friends they'll be here later on.
I needed you here so badly, you are part of my plan. There is so much we have to do, to help our mortal man. God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do-and foremost on that list was to love and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night. And when you think of my life, and all those loving years, because you're only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afaid to cry, it does relieve the pain, remember there would be no flowers if it wasn't for the rain.
I wish that I could tell you, all that God has planned, but even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing's for certain, though my life on earth is no more, I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before!!!!!! There are many rocky roads ahead and many hills to climb, but together we can make it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too, as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain, then you can say to God at night "My day was not in vain."
And now that I am content that my life on earth was worthwhile... Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile. So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick them up and on your way you go. And when you're walking down the street, and your've got me on your mind, just remember that I'm walking in your footsteps-only a few steps behind! And when it's time for you to go, from your body to be free, remember that you are not leaving,-------
you are coming home to me!!!!
Until Then I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
MARK DEVIN SHEMWELL, JR.
