I'm typically a non-believer when it comes to spiritual matters. BUT, today I left a message on my dead friend's Facebook page asking him to look out for Juniper. My friend died a year and a half ago. He never got to have a family of his own. When we dated our song was Michelle Shocked's "when I grow up". He wanted that"hundred and twenty babies" she sang about and never got to have one.
So here is my hope that Sean can show Juniper around and help take care of him wherever they might be out there. And, early on I told another friend that I hoped our boys were playing out there together somewhere. (His son fought heart issues for 15 weeks after being born, but didn't make it. He died 4 days after Juniper.)
I certainly don't believe in heaven and hell, but I do like to think that if you weren't quite done living, or hadn't quite started, you stick around for a while somewhere just out of reach, to watch and learn.
