Whether it has been five days for someone or almost four years like my mom, I am thinking of the song, I can only imagine.  I wonder how many hugs, laughs, kisses, jokes, songs and games those we know have passed have done with Jesus.  From the first embrace when we open our eyes there and see him, to the joy of spending every moment with him and those we love all around us.  I think of the book Heaven is for real and how that little boy described Heaven and it makes me long for it.  Today, I saw the family of beautiful Kaely release doves into the air as a symbol of her soul ascending to Heaven and OH!! How much Glorious it must have been to be escorted by Christ into Heaven.  The days that I think about my Mom the most are the ones that Jesus lets me know what she is able to do now and again I can only imagine what an Awesome pain in the butt she is being with him, and he must be like Yeah I created her!  I listened well to those who were closest to Kaely and as they spoke I realized she is giving Jesus the same poses, dances and funny faces she gave here on Earth.  What is amazing to me is the fact that one day we will be able to do as Kaely, my Mom and your loved ones passed have been doing in our futures.  Think of all your loved ones you have lost and know your grief is necessary, but then think how many Hugs, kisses, laughs, jokes, songs and games they have had a chance to experience with Jesus.  I know a pastor who always says at the end of his sermons Laugh, Play, Dance and Sing and that is exactly what Kaely, My Mom and all of your Loved Ones in Heaven are doing right Now!!

NOTE: This song was given to me when my Mom passed away!  Please take a moment to listen
