I MADE IT HOME
"I just wanted to let you know that I made it home.  The journey wasn't an easy one, but it didn't take too long. Everything is so pretty here, so white, so fresh and 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 that angels are taking care of me...  I'm in the shelter of their love, so there is no sadness, no sorrow and no pain.  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."
