38. You have many people in that boat with you.

I’m there, too.

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this right now. And you’re right: there’ll be a little bit of you that won’t ever get over it. Could it be because your Zeke took that part with him when he headed off to Heaven?

He’ll meet Mousetrap and dB and Barney & Betty and other beloveds from here and elsewhere, who’ve gone ahead, themselves. He’ll have many new friends Upstairs.

Sometimes when I think of the Here-After, I find myself wondering if I’ve been good enough to go to THEIR part of Heaven, instead of where the spirits of the good people get to go.
