I remember After my daughter died I had the incredible need To beleive there was a Heaven Twenty years later I have accepted There is no Heaven And this life is Gift enough from God I expect nothing more from Him God owes me no Heaven And I still worship Him If there is a Heaven This attitude will probably Get me in
