Where is Heaven, Is it very far?

I was raised to know that heaven is never far away.  I believed it while I was growing up and still do to this day...maybe a little more now than before.

Both of my parents are in heaven and an incredible aunt and uncle took me and my two sisters in and called us their own, making one family out of two.  They became our mom and dad too.

My mom taught us that our parents and heaven were always near and I know that to be true.  When Landry passed away, there was some peace knowing that his death was not the end, because of my knowledge from my upbringing.  I know that he too, will always be close because heaven is as near as you let it be.

After Landry passed away, Lenn and I became obsessed with sunsets!  I cannot remember the one time that it really came to me but I remember thinking 'I bet the little angels in heaven are in charge of the sunsets each night to help was remember them'.  After that I have watched for the perfect timing of sunsets.  I don't catch each one but I try.  They bring me such peace and an excuse to sit and think of my little Landry.

Since sunsets bring me such peace I love to pass that one to others who have lost a loved one.  I had the idea of putting Landry in a sunset and I loved it.  It put two loves together!  I have done a few for others and I hope they find the same peace that I do when I see sunsets knowing that Landry will always be close and there to help us along this journey we call life.
