Letters (or Messages) To Heaven

If you write a letter to Heaven, are you supposed to put postage on it or would you have to make it business like with the sender's address in the upper corner?? With the letter going to Heaven, what would the actually address be? How would you send it up there? Would it be considered more of a prayer then a letter? If you were sending a letter to someone in Heaven, other then God, then would you need to put "Attn" on it?

I was in the mood tonight to write a letter to someone, but didnt know who's name to put after the "Dear." I ended up writing a letter to my best friend, Heidi. I actually started to write a letter, but then ended up on Facebook and just sent her a private message. I told her everything that was happening in my life at the time being. I also got a little selfish and told her that I wanted her back here on earth with me. The reason I would love to have back on earth is because I would love to have a reply. Maybe she can send a butterfly to land on my shoulder as a reply. Maybe I can get some healthy or good vibes sent my way as a reply from Heidi. Or! Maybe she will spit on me from Heaven (would that be considered holy water?). That would be the type of reply I would expect from Heidi (that would be an inside joke between her and I).

Do you think she got the message? I think she got it! I think she is giggling up there in Heaven because of the message on Facebook. I can hear her saying, "Bethany! You are nuts and a dork!" It was a letter that I should have sent her a long time ago. Who knows?!? Maybe I will try to write her one each week.

The letters to Heaven will probably continue, but I will never know if those have been received. I will hand delivery all the things that I have said to her in those letters personally one day. While I wait on that time to come, then I will keep writing till my heart is content. I will keep missing her. I dont know that my hole in my heart will ever heal, but I will say that letters to Heaven are helping mend the heart.

Dear Heidi,

I love and miss you, girlfriend!

Your best friend forever and eternity,
Bethany

Very sweet post...I'm sure Heidi received your message! You will have to ask her someday! What a sweet, goofy, funny girl she was. Dustin just said the other day, "I sure miss that girl"--he was talking about Heidi. She touched more lives than she could possibly have imagined.
I am very happy that you are my sister...and that we are all happy and healthy. I love you!
Love,
Your Big Sis

Thanks, Sara. I don't think Heidi ever realized how many people loved and adored her. We are a very lucky family to be healthy so far. I love our family and I love you.

Love the little sis.
