I remember this look all too well. 🙂 <3 <3 <3
I often, daily actually, think of Jany. But today, four months and a dozen days later, I finally had a dream (that I can remember) about her.
The phone rang, I answered, and Jany cheerfully said, “Good morning.” She was calling me from heaven! Jany’s voice sounded her same cheerful and encouraging voice she always had.
I asked her what it was like up there. You could hear the smile on her face when she passionately said, “I’m busy, Stephanie.”
“Busy doing what?”
“Busy, just busy. Preparing for y’all.”
I probed a bit further and asked if there were any sunsets. Again, with a sweetness and satisfaction in her tone she replied, “No, it is light her all the time.”
Knowing how I adore my sunrises and sunsets, this confirmed a thought I’d had. I feel that God is having me enjoy soaking up each sunset I can now, because if I think these are beautiful, peaceful, and an glimpse at God’s majestic artwork and scenery, can you just imagine how much grandeur heaven will be. It is as if God is saying, “You think this is awesome, just wait!”
I remember asking if I can call her, and she informed me, “No, I can only call you.”
My dream made me miss her even more, as I cried after we hung up the phone. But I am eager to receive my next phone call from heaven.
That made me cry. Very sweet.
I found one of her gray sweat shirts in my drawer. I folded it,(not to her standards of course), and laid it on her pillows in the master br. I say good morning and good night, and talk to her throughout the day. I can see her all around me in this “cabin in the woods” we built and the land we worked………..I miss her so much.
It is that certain hope that all who Believe will join her one day that helps get through each day, and night; that one day, for eternity, I will again be with the love of my life, and with all of you.
Our God’s plan can hurt sometimes, like for all of us right now, but will bring joy in heaven when we can show how a Christian family handles a terrible tradgedy. And we are and we will.

Stephanie, nice message. Wayne’s response is special and as much, if not more (sorry) inspiring. Love of family and more importantly, love of God is the heart of our existence and ever lasting life. It is wonderful how Wayne expressed it so well and so meaningful. Amen and God Bless..
Amen, Theresa, Amen! 🙂
