May 3, 1944 when the Lord said: "Go out and cherish the world that I made for you. Grow-up for each there is a plan I made especially for you. The life you will have will always be a blessings though heartaches sometimes come with it. But it is a part of Me I shared with you, to make you stronger and have more faith in Me. Each day I travel with you; for you are special. I brought special people into your life. They are your strength, your love, your happiness and your joy. Nothing more I want for you, only to make you happy. The day you saw the light was a wonderful day to greet you.
Life has been good to you, you've been through a lot and cried quietly with Me and that broke my heart. Though I promised to give you love, joy and happiness I never said it would always be that way in your time. Your time may be short yet it leaves sweet memories to treasure and cherish. Because you said your ready, now is the time for you to share those memories with Me. Now I open the door for you and close the door behind you. Today, May 14, you are with Me forever.
