Maybe heaven entailed more than a soul residing in a single place, but instead having pieces of yourself spread among the hearts and memories of people you've touched.

About This Quote

When one is living in a place of beauty, it is hard to imagine that there is a heaven. However, when you say heaven with someone who has been through hell and came out the other side, it is quite a bit different. As you grieve for a loved one who is in heaven, you see that there really is a place where they reside. It is beautiful, peaceful and free from pain. You must imagine that heaven is something that can be experienced by everyone.
