when I passed on, if he was in heaven now, or another parallel universe, like Lisa had suggested.
“Why did you tell me to let him go?”
“If you did not let him go, he would have been stuck, not being able to move forward to where he was meant to be. His love for you was what was holding him back. But he too had a visitor that helped him through it. Helped him realize that if he didn’t let go, neither of you would be happy. The dreams you have had, they would end and all that would be left would be limbo, lost in a nothing so vast, both of you would be lost forever.
I felt guilt spreading through me. “If I’d known, I would’ve let go.” She smiled lovingly at me.
“It was hard for you to know at the time. But all is well now. You are here on this planet for a reason, don’t waste it. Be happy for what was, good and bad, for it has made you grow. Let go and move on.”
What she was saying made sense and I needed to hear it. She looked at me as if she could see everything I was feeling. She put her hand on my cheek, it felt soft and warm and nurturing.
“It’s time to let go.”
She took a deep breath and blew lights that looked like stars through her mouth and onto me. I closed my eyes and felt myself gently fall. The light fading away and the next thing I knew, I was in my bed and without trying, I fell asleep, a dreamless deep sleep.
