aftermath

I’m not a religious person, and I never have been. I wasn’t brought up that way. But I have gained my own sense of faith through what I have experienced and witnessed and chosen to believe. I don’t know if there is a heaven, but I think it is a beautiful idea. I don’t see it with pearly gates or Saint Peter. I don’t see it set among the clouds in the sky. I see it as a place where you are reunited with those you have lost, a place where you can make up for the time you lost. It is a place comprised of everything you love in life. But more importantly, it is a place where we meet again.

You don’t exist in this world anymore. But that doesn’t mean you don’t exist at all. I will see you in my dreams, and I will see you in my heaven. But not yet. Not just yet.

I don’t want to live in a world where you don’t exist. But I will. There is no choice but to live on.
