Dear Mailman,

What if we sent letters to heaven? If so, can I get my hands on the address?

I began to write "I wish it was as simple as dialing 1-800-GOD and asking for it" which then made me pause for a second and chuckle as I thought "wait a minute, that's called praying, you dingus!" Is God kinda like the mailman between Earth and heaven? Maybe He's taking our prayer's in the form of letters to the people we love's new address.

I think lost loved ones do send us letters, just not ones with words. I think in a unique way every person has their own kind of symbol that's revealed to give us comfort when they're gone and maybe that's Mr. Mailman God's way of sending us their letters.

My grandma had a big garden with lots of flowers which were all very beautiful. After she died, out of all the flowers, the sunflowers stuck out to me so clearly. It was like she had been watering them with her presence everyday so that I could be reminded of her when she was no longer there to tend to them. A few days ago I got so excited that my sunflower plant had it's first flower open up, It was a simple moment shared between the both of us.

What would your letter to heaven be? Mine would go a little something like this:

Dear Grandma,

Thank you for sending me sunflowers from heaven that make my heart giggle with you and your joy that continues to find a way to make me smile.

Love,

Your Granddaughter Babette
