A Loved One In Heaven

Watch Over Us

A Loved One In Heaven

Hey, everyone! I was planning on writing a different article this week, but the past couple days have been a little rough. While living on campus, I am surrounded by classes, homework, and work. My family understands that I do not have much free time, so it is hard to find time to talk to them. On Thursday, I found out that one of my great uncles had passed away.

I have a hard time when it comes to dealing with my emotions. Losing a loved one makes it even worse for me. Understanding that I have a hard time with my schedule and how hard I have to work, it tore me apart to notice that I will be unable to make it to the funeral due to my most difficult classes being on that day.

So, I was thinking about this.

Heaven Watching Us:


To The Angels In Heaven,

Take care of our loved ones as the venture your way.

Watch over them as they have watched over us.

Shower them with love and happiness as they remember the good days they had in life.

Give them peace for many have struggled in life.

Teach them your ways as they become angels over their family.


To The Loved One In Heaven,

You left before we had time to properly say goodbye.

Tears shed down our cheeks as we whisper our love to you.

This horrendous pain may be forever or may be a few days,

Yet we will continue on with life until it is our time to join you.

While we wait, become our guardian angels and watch over us with a smile on your face.


To The Loved One Who Is Now a Guardian Angel,

Watch over us as we discover the simple joys in life that you found during your time.

Smile down on us when we find love and happiness.

Spread your mystical light before us when we are lost,

And never leave our sides.

Let us feel your presence and love to let us know that we are never alone.

Wait for the day to rejoice when we are by your side again.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
