Self Portrait by Beverly "Starchy"I have some questions for you. I wonder ... can see us from your home in heaven? Do you get to meet your grandchildren and great-grandchildren before they come down to earth? Can you read our Blogs, E-mail and Facebook... or do you just peek between the clouds and check in on us now and then? Most of all I want to know, are you happy? I really hope that you are happy and have found peace, that you can see us and that you kissed all our babies before they came to earth. I'll bet it feels really good to have Jesus give you a hug... is that why they call it heaven? How did seeing Dad again go for you?
I am thinking of you and send you my love this September 22nd on your birthday....

It's difficult to comment through the tears. I feel that she is at peace and in touch with with us all. I sense a reciprocal forgiveness. She will always be someone I love, my beautiful sister.
Sue,
What a sweet blog, leave to you to ponder heaven and blogging.
Mom has become a mythical grandma at our house, there has always been gifts from her at christmas and birthdays, things she would have gotten for Lily. Lots and lots of art supplies, unsolicited, finally at some point I thought to myself, all of these art supplies are crazy, Lily is just a kid, who knows if she is an artist? Then Lily started getting beautiful Jewelry and other trinkets Mom would have loved. So now it is amazing that she is an artist. I encourage her to pursue her bliss. Right before Mom died, maybe 2 days, she told me, she thought maybe everything would have been alright if she had just pursued art. I have always pursued my bliss and it has served me well. I know that our challenges are our lessons. I had alot of fun with my mother and felt an amazing love from her, she has been gone so long we do not talk about it much, but I carry her lessons with me every day and I know she did her best with me and I appreciate all of the gifts she gave me. I am having fun with my daughter and sharing a extremely close relationship with her. Something my Mom taught me. With all her challenges she managed to pass on all her greatness to me and mine. So Rock on all you grandchildren, follow your bliss, tend your happiness like it is a garden that will feed you, there is nothing more important.

Wow, I like Pat will find it difficult to comment through my tears. That is a beautiful tribute to Bev. I feel the same way about those who have gone before, that they get to kiss, ( or in my Dad's case, bite their ears) the little ones before they come down to live with us. Trisha, I enjoyed your comments also, and I am glad you hold her memory so dear. what a cute thing, to have given gifts in her name to Lyly. Any thing to keep her memories alive. I know she is looking out for you all, and praying for you through your trials. Never Never doubt that.
