Dear Galen:
Hello Dear, its Nina. Don't ask me how I'm able to send you this letter, just enjoy it and keep it always. How's life on earth with me gone? I hope you've been able to move on and be happy and heal. I really hope so. I want you to be happy. Heaven is good, as one would expect. I keep seeing our old friends from Flowerbud Village, and even some people from Forget-Me-Not Valley. Pete, Tina, Maria, Eve, Ann, Ellen, and everyone else . I've missed them so. They keep asking about you and the life we've led, but they keep calling you Basil. How nostalgic it is to hear that name. I've also seen many of your old friends from your many travels, people I've never met. But somehow they recognize me. They say you carried around pictures of me to show them when we were dating. That was very sweet to hear, I never knew that.
Don't forget to continue to love and spend time with our children and grandchildren. Even the ones that aren't ours, like Jill and her son Robert. I wish I could have seen him and all the other little children in the town grow up and get married, so I hope you'll do so for the both of us. If you come here with me before that can happen, I'll still be happy because you'll be with me again. I can't miss you for there's no pain here, but I can't wait to see you again.
I remember when we first met. Missing you when you would go on your travels. I remember when you confessed your feelings for me. Getting engaged, getting married. The birth of our children, their marriages and the birth of their children. Moving to Forget-Me-Not Valley and watching the slow changing of the seasons and the lives of those around me. I remember when I had pink hair and flawless skin, but that wasn't hard as here in Heaven everyone is young. My hair is long and silky again, I love it. I guess this means that when you come, you'll be the fiery young man I first fell in love with. Everyone else is young again as well. Ellen can't get enough of running around. She's a fairly recent newcomer to Heaven to, and neither of us are quite used to the youth and peace and joy this place has to offer. Even Dia is happy now, and Eve has no more worries. Ellen still hugs her family up here as if she just got here and saw them again for the first time, and I can't say I'm not the same way with my parents and everyone else here. I even got to meet your family. They said they would have loved me even back on earth.
Here, it's always like Spring, never too hot or too cold. I love the Spring, it's when we first met. It's nice to always see the beautiful flowers. Despite the temperature never changing, the seasons do. So I still get to witness the beauty of Winter, Autumn and Summer just like on earth, but without the weather tragedies and wishing the weather would change to no longer be bitterly cold or awfully hot. It's so lovely up here. You'll love it too.
There's so much I could write. So many things to remember, so many conversations to tell you about. So many things I've learned that we always wondered about. But now my mind goes blank, and all I can say is this: I love you. I always have and I always will. I can't wait to see you. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time on earth in the knowledge that I'm so very happy where I am. Make sure to tell the little children and any future children all about it. Don't forget to breath, and don't fret when a breath is your last. You have nothing to fear, it's lovely up here. I can't wait.
Kisses and hugs to the love of my life, from your wife,
Nina.
