I Made It Home

I just wanted to let you know that I made it home.

Everything is so pretty here, so white, so fresh, so new. I wish that you could close your eyes so you could see it too.

Please try not to be sad for me. Try to understand. God is taking care of me. I'm in the shelter of His hands.

Here there is no sadness, and there is no crying, and I'll never hurt again.

Here it is so peaceful, when all the angels sing. I really have to go for now. I've just got to try my wings.

Parker Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
