My dear Raven there is NOTHING in the world you could do that would ever let us down. We know each one of us will one day have to move on from this life to the next. It’s the way you travel the path that matters and you have shown the outstanding strength of the human spirit. A true inspiration. When it comes time to let go, do it with no worry. Having been with each of my parents at their passing, I know family will come to guide you to a higher plane of existence, with God.


Listen to the words of Jesus on the night before he was crucified:

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am (John 14:1-3).

Twice in three verses Jesus calls heaven a place. He means that heaven ("my Father's house") is a real place filled with real people. Which, is why the Bible sometimes compares heaven to a mansion with many rooms (John 14:1-3) and sometimes to an enormous city teeming with people (Revelation 21).

The Bible also tells us that heaven is the dwelling place of God. His throne is there, the angels are there, and the Lord Jesus Christ is in heaven. Philippians 3:20 says very plainly that "our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ."

That's why Jesus told the thief on the Cross, "Today you will be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:43).


Love and blessings sent to both you and John.
