Dont Angels Get Mail

Don’t Angels Get Mail? I sent a Valentine’s Day card to a friend Filled with get well wishes… Hoping she was on the mend I sealed it with heart stickers On the envelope flap Got my mail today And what did I see? Familiar hearts stickers On the envelope flap I thought it was from her But it was not to be DECEASED? I cried No not her RETURN TO SENDER? I didn’t know How could that be? UNABLE TO FORWARD? What do you mean? Don’t angels get mail? 3/26/18 ~Liz ~1/9/18~ Gone too soon~ A horrific way to find about a death You are never prepared to see those words Deceased - Return to sender- Unable to forward I received this in my mail...not knowing she was gone

Angels do get mail, Patricia, and we send it to them in our sleep. I am saddened that this is a practice, and am glad I have not experienced it myself. I'm sure it was a feeling that cannot be expressed.

She knew I collected anything angel so knows she is one of them now. Fortunately/unfortunately these life lessons have brought me to express my feelings in words that turns into poems. Glad I have that outlet. Thank you for your kind words. :))
