Day 6: Dear stranger,
You aren’t a complete stranger to me. I talked to you a few times and I thought you seemed really cool. I wanted to eventually get to know you better. I wish I did sooner because now it’s too late. I know you’re in a better place: a place with no pain or suffering at all. While we’re wishing you were here on earth with us, you are loving life up in heaven. You have no desire to be back here anymore, you are in the most amazing and peaceful place and you’re looking down on us all. You can see every single person whose life you touched in some way, big or small. I now know that it’s okay for me to feel grief even though I didn’t really know you. You death is helping me to realize that I want to become closer to God. And when that day comes and it’s my turn to go to heaven, I know I’ll see you up there and maybe then I can really get to know you.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” - John 3:16
