A Place Called Heaven

The only Mama I ever knew left this world 2 years ago,  and today -Mother's Day 2009- I woke up to tell her Happy Mother's day and to thank her for all that she has done for me.  I went out onto my front porch (which is the place in which I always stop to talk to God, Talk to my family in Heaven, listen to whatever my little girl wants to share with me about her day,  and where I greet my husband with  a smile to let him know that he is special in my life and that I am glad when he walks through our door.)  The front porch of my little West Virginia home was where we shared so many things with family and friends.  and where I learned all the special things that made me the person I am today.  I call them "Lessons from My Front Porch."  I know that today Daddy and Mama are feasting at the table in a place called Heaven.  Daddy always told me that Heaven was a beautiful place and that one day he would go there.  He left this world when I was 10 years old (he was 70) but I knew that he was glad to be going HOME.  When I first heard this song I thought about my Daddy,  and all the times he would say "Cooch,  Heaven is a beautiful Place "  and this song says it all.  I hope that if you have a Daddy or a Mama (or both) or a loved one gone from you today,  that you will find that this song brings you as much joy and peace as it does me.
