New beginnings
There was a light. A white light.
Music. Heavenly music, the kind of music that would be heard when a character would go to Heaven's gates. The soft melody, prepared by a variety of harps and other gentle instruments, such as the soft tinkle of the triangle.
She had heard of this once or twice, on a talk show and then on a soap opera. Was she having a near death experience?
The light was bright. It was calling her, beckoning her to come forth.
White. That was all she could see. Everything was white. She was in heaven.
Or was she?
There were clouds...all white and puffy. She could see people that she had only seen in photos up until now. These people had two things in common. They were all dead and all her relatives.
She could make out some of the faces, some of them she couldn't remember, and she had seen all those faces, so very long ago. Her grandmother and father had showed her pictures of everybody.
Everything was like a gold and white cloud. Hidden by many familiar faces was a golden gate, seen as the gate to heaven in movies and cartoons, alike.
There were her grandfathers, both her mother's father and her father's, her uncles, one was only around 13 when he had died, now he seemed older. Her other uncle, her father's brother, he looked so similar to her own father, thy shared the same curly hair. They looked so similar, she couldn't list all the similarities, there were much too many. Then there were people who looked unbelievably familiar, yet she couldn't remember their names.
She could hear them calling her over, calling her to come and to join them. Then she could see people from earth calling her back down.
She was in the middle, separating the earth from Heaven. Her parents and grandparents were there, her aunties, uncle and even cousins were telling her the same thing 'it isnt your time, you have much to do. You are not ready. You will come back when it IS your time. There are no accidents in the universe. Everything that happens in life has a purpose.'
She thought she could hear something. The pull her family had over her was amazing. It brought her back down to earth.
