If Alice could leave a note: I think this is something she would say:
I just wanted to tell you..
I finally made it here.
I have heard about this place my whole life but I have to tell you…
beautiful is an understatement.
The views are absolutely stunning.
The colors unreal.
I journeyed here alone but it doesn’t feel as such. So warm. So inviting. A reunion that was absolutely amazing. A feeling of comfort and complete fulfillment.
Truly at peace.
I am home.
And I have no reason to feel anything other than pure happiness.
And love. For you.
Know the tears you shed when you miss me are temporary.
The pain….only temporary.
For this home is yours too. I just got here ahead of you. That’s all.
Nobody ever knows when it’s their time to be called home.
So for now..
You just have more living to do. Take in those sunsets. Breathe in the crisp Autumn air. Taste the salt of the ocean. Listen to the rain as you fall asleep.
There is still joy to be had.
Tuck me into your heart. Move forward with our memories. Take those steps and picture me cheering you on.
And smiling when you smile.
I want nothing more than for you to smile.
Keep taking those steps. Oh I know they must be heavy some days. But..
For each day you get closer to my doorstep.
And the reunion will be amazing when I am among the first to..
Welcome You Home
