We knew it was coming, and I can't believe I did this, but I asked if she would please give me a sign that she was all right. That was the farthest thing from my mind the morning she passed away. But as the hearse pulled away, I got my reassurance sign. I will not go into it, but it was definitely her message to me, and it made me laugh! It could only have been from my dad and her. Maybe someday I will write about it. For now, this is enough. God bless you. And if you don't know for sure, 100%, you are going to Heaven, make sure you do that today! You know you can know, right?Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028902712658025433.post-80622857926755487232012-10-14T22:00:57.905-05:002012-10-14T22:00:57.905-05:00Jo

It is funny because the night I wrote this my heart just poured it out and it was so natural and easy. I guess REAL moments in time just flow from us authors.<br />Thanks so much for coming to my stoop. I have not been writing as much as normal since there has been a lot going on in my life.
