Letter from Heaven by Ruth Ann Mahaffey
To my dearest family some things I’d like to say
But first of all to let you know that I arrived okay,
I’m writing this from Heaven. Here I shall dwell with God above
Here, there’s no more tears of sadness. Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I’m out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me and He said “I welcome you,
It’s good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone,
As for your dearest family, they’ll be here later on.
God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do
And foremost on the list was to watch and care for you
And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you . . in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth and all those loving years
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears
But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
One thing is for certain though my life on earth is o’er
I’m closer to you now than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb
Together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
When you’re walking down the street and you’ve got me on your mind
I’m walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind
And when it’s time for you to go . . from that body to be free
Remember you’re not going . . you’re just coming here to me.LisaAnn,
My deepest condolences on the passing of your father. I’m sure what comforted him the most was having his family all around him when he needed them there. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
DianneSo sorry to hear about your Dad LisaAnn. I hope that your wonderful memories of your Dad soon replace the sadness that you are feeling now.
*Hugs*
-Randi-I am so sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. I understand when you say this is the hardest thing you have ever gone through. Losing my dad was the hardest thing I have ever experienced. I wish there were something I could say to make it easier for you. Just know that many prayers are going up for you and your family.
LisaAnn,
I know how hard it is to lose your father. Mine died 5 years ago from lung cancer and now my mom is diagnosed with cc. You did everything you could for your dad and hopefully you will find comfort and enjoy the wonderful memories.

I am so sorry, LisaAnn. My prayers are with you at this difficult time. May you find peace.
Love and hugs, -Pam
Dearest Friends,
Dad’s horrible ordeal was finished today at 4:15. He passed relatively peacefully and his entire family was at his bedside together. I don’t know what I can do to make a difference with this horrible disease but I am willing to devote all my pain to finding what causes it. Thank you all for being there, I am just so numb and exhausted I can barely think.Dear LisaAnn, yes this is the hardest thing to do in life but your Dad told you the truth, he will always be all around you. And please, say a big thank you to your son for what he is doing for us all! I know you are as proud of your son as your Dad is of you.
LisaAnn…I agree. I don’t know where we find the strength but somehow we are able to deal with the unimaginable. Know that you are stronger than you thought to ever be and that you are able to handle anything whatever that may be. You can do it. My heart is with you.
Love and hugs,
MarionThank you all for your support. I can feel your support even through the distance.
Dad is nearly unresponsive now, but I did get the chance to tell him that he has been the best father any daughter could ask for. Once while sitting there, I wasn’t talking I just had my head down beside his pillow. He opened his eyes and said, “you don’t have to worry, I am not going to die, I will be around.”
My son was in Afghanistan. I have fought MS for 12 years. Went to school and almost have a doctorate. This is the hardest thing I have ever done.
Lisa Ann, Thinking of you as you spend the last hours with your dad. My husband, too, did not seem to experience pain at the end. What a blessing. He will be at peace soon and I hope you find some peace in this sad time as well. Hugs. Nancy
