If Heaven Had Visitation Hours

Can I maybe sleepover for a night or two, or perhaps stay forever with you?

If heaven had visitation hours I would probably be the happiest living soul there is. Someone who I love and miss dearly is up there right now.

On April of 2015, my aunt passed away. She was everything to me. I considered her my second mother.

The day she passed had a permanent mark in my heart. I remember it is if it were yesterday. It was my last memory of her.

I was a junior in high school facing a difficult life transition from being with you every day to not seeing you at all.

If heaven had visitation hours I would go watch Family Feud with you because that was our show! Every day at 6 pm we were watching, guessing and laughing at the ridiculous responses people would give.

If heaven had visitation hours I would tell you about the first time I won a race in track in your honor.

If heaven had visitation hours I would give you a big hug and tell God if I can get an extra hour just hug you longer.

If heaven had visitation hours I would tell you that I love you and you were the best (second) mom I've always wanted.

If heaven had visitation hours I would want you to give me advice on how to maintain strong.

If heaven had visitation hours I would see you every single day (if God allows me)

If heaven had visitation hoursI would tell you about my pain.

If heaven had visitation hours I would tell you that I'm not okay.

If heaven had visitation hours I would laugh with you to get my mind off the bad things.

If heaven had visitation hours I would want you to assure me that I have a purpose here on Earth and that I will be happier.

I would tell you that ever since you left, I think about you and pray for you every single day. Not one single day goes by without thinking about you. I grew up with you. I was inspired by you. I aspired to be a great person just like you because you were my role model.

You left so unexpectedly at a time I needed you. I don't blame you. I would never. But, I just wish I got to enjoy my accomplishments with you from getting into the National Honor Society to being a State qualifier in Track & Field to becoming a double major in college.

Nothing is the same without you here. And it may never be. How could it be when the one person I trusted, told me secrets to, confided in, gave me advice, and loved me as if I were her own is no longer here with me, physically?

I can't hug you. I can't cry to you like I use to when something is terribly wrong. I can't watch Family Feud with you like the good old days. I can't have sleepovers or go to work with you.

All I have is our memories, our cherish memories that we made from when I was a little girl. Over 12 years of good memories and good fun times with you.

All smiles from here.

I'm glad I just didn't say goodbye because I am never good at letting go, and maybe there is a reason for that. But, I'm optimistic that someday we'll reunite and catch up on the many years without each other (physically).

I know you'll always be here in spirit---

But, If heaven had visitation hours I would reassure you that I will always be back and that we will always be together no matter what happens.

I will make you proud because I know you're always here every step through the way, helping me with my struggles.

I love you and miss you more than anything on this entire planet.

Moments like this I really did wish heaven had visitation hours. I might have to make a deal with God, who knows?

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
