  I can only imagine your absolute Amazement and Joy of finally being in Heaven, being reunited with your Family and Friends who were waiting to welcome You home I envision You and Jesus walking together, as Jesus has His arm around You, and Jesus is smiling the biggest smile as He enjoys listening to You explain to Him about your ancient astronaut theories, and all of your really good ideas, thoughts and questions. I can only imagine the profound comfort and peace that only He can give, surrounding You now. I believe that we will All be together again in Heaven, and I know that if You are given the opportunity, You will be checking in to see how All of your Family here on Earth are doing, and You will be sharing together with Jesus all about each of us, as You await our arrival, too. And now, there is no more pain, no more tears, no more heartache, no more hard feelings or petty indifference. All is well now. All is forgiven. It's now up to each of us with our remaining time left on Earth to choose every day to remember only the good memories, and to put the past with all of the difficult and painful memories behind us. I now understand that you dealt with a lot of inner turmoil throughout your life, having never received mental health care to help You live a better life. You struggled from childhood through adulthood, and your closest loved ones often suffered the worst of it, not being able to fully understand your continuous inner suffering and pain. We all in our own hearts and minds were able to experience some good and precious memories of You, Dad. I pray that we all choose daily to remember the good moments with You. The glimpses we had of the Real You, Dad. The shared talks, laughter, tears that we all had with You, no matter how few or rare, are truly precious memories to share and keep in our hearts. I do believe Jesus when He said that He will make all things new. I look forward to meeting and getting to know the Real You in Heaven someday, and being able to give You the biggest hugs, and get to laugh with utter Joy and Amazement of being all together again with Jesus right there with all of us! Please ask Him to surround us All in His Healing Love, Peace, Mercy and Kindness. I'm so happy for You to be celebrating Christmas in Heaven!! There is probably no words sufficient to describe how Magnificent it All truly is! I love You, Dad. We all love You! You finally made it. I know You were looking forward to this for so long. Congratulations! And, Merry Christmas, Dad! PS We are glad that You came to pick up your Brother, John, so that You both could come Home, arms around Each Other as You Both entered Heaven, together. 🙏💕
