A special note!

I received a special note from an old dear friend of Lakewood Village and I thought I would share it with you...
What a beautiful place! It is a calm and peaceful place. One can find it above the white cotton like clouds. A place most would want to live...love to live. The sun peaks through the gently swaying trees. I can feel the warmth of the sun on my face. My face flush, I start to smile. I feel so relaxed and stress free. Butterflies are flying everywhere. I can spread my wings and fly. I am excited. My heart races as I fly over this garden..A beautiful mansion tops the hill and small villages beneath. I hear music, birds singing , and laughter. The flowers are colorful and the smell is indescribable. I hear the laughter of children. I feel love and joy. My heart races as I continue to watch the small children at play. I can feel the presence of loved ones. I can't see them but I can hear their voices. I am flying over a beautiful city. There are bodies of water that are as blue as the sky. Oh, what a place! I start to descend. I feared losing sight of this place. Will I ever see this place again? I am in a state of confusion. My hands were starting to warm, the warmth turned to sweat. I felt a presence over me. Suddenly and softly a hand grasped my hand and gently tugged. I recognized the touch, I heard the voice of the angel that I have lost. "Darling it's time, I've come to bring you home, to the other side with me"
