God, Can I Chat with Mom?

How is it that we can talk to anybody in this universe, technologically, but not with our departed? Is it asking too much, to want to communicate with someone we miss so much, just because they have passed on to another place? I'm a believer, and i have no doubt, that the God who created the heavens and the earth, must have a far more advance internet system more powerful than what we earthlings have. Something that is in the supernatural, like a 'universalnet', or 'cosmosnet'. I am very very curious, and many times, i imagine what it's like, if God opened up a window in the sky, and mom and i could see each other. Or we can 'skype', and chat forever! But, for now, i hope she will get this letter, however it's made possible for us.

Hi Mom!

I miss you! I really really miss you! Should i even ask how you are? How about, are you busy? Let me see...how many voice choir are you directing and conducting up there? Does Jesus sing too? And how many angels join in? Who has been over to your 'mansion', (that's what has been promised by ou Father, right?)? Any of the family, or anyone from the The Book, like apostle Paul, or Peter? Do you have a garden, with ponds and fruit trees? Do my dogs, Prince, Sandra and Azabache ever roam your place? What sort of gadgets do you have in your kitchen? I know you love making smoothies, and fruit shakes. Has anyone tried your Leche Flan yet? I bet they love it!

Do you miss me? Do you miss all your darling children? How's dad? Please hug him for me. Do you get to play the piano while he sings "You are my Special Angel" with his Mario Lanza voice? Gosh, how i miss our many happy Sundays at home.

This may seem silly, but i'm really curious. Is there Internet in heaven? What do they call it? Does God have the eternal version of iPad, and do you get to see my Facebook, or read my blogs? Why do i have a feeling you are not out of touch with me? That there, in God's big library, you have access to the most advanced computer system, this world have yet to develop? Just how much are you able to see from where you are? You know, when i look into the clouds, i sense you are never far away and that you know how things are going for me. Like God, do you know 'everything'? Probably not. But, do you know when i'm happy and when i'm sad? Do you hurt when i hurt?

Well, i'm now a grandma and, like you, i'm loving it. Anna still loves talking about how you used to 'play cooking' with her, the piano lessons you used to give her, and how her shallow jokes made you laugh. I really appreciate those precious times you spent with her, when i was a busy single mom, building a career. Well, you'll be proud, how she has become one fine mom, and such an awesome cook, thanks to you. She has a project, collating our family's best loved recipes into a cookbook, which she is passing on to her daughter. I'm still convincing her to publish it.

Do you remember that big milestone birthday party we gave you, and we all sung "In My Life" by the Beatles? Wasn't that a really great time we had, being together in one place? You were so beautiful in your aqua colored gown, and you really glowed like a star. Your smile is something i really miss, greeting me every morning for breakfast, and welcoming me every evening when i returned home from work. We don't live in the same house anymore, but, i still think a lot about you sitting at the dining table, and waiting to have conversation with me.

I love you mom. I hope all the pain i caused you has been erased from your heart. I don't play the piano like you planned for me. But, i'm happy being as artistic as you. I raised a daughter with your help, and you inspired her greatly to become the best that she can be. She is raising a child so wonderfully, you would be proud of her.
