I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Oh man! That makes me miss her even more. I am glad that I have been one of the lucky ones to have gotten to see for myself. I want to love and kiss on those cheecks again.

What a little sweetheart! It is so much fun to see her again! Our dial-up is soooo slow, but it was worth it! Give her a kiss from grandma and grandpa. I got it to download to 56 seconds, so I missed a little bit of it but saw almost a minute! I am working on her afgahn. It is coming along really good! Love ya, Mom M.
