| I wonder what heaven is like?
I wonder if those we love can look down on us, if they can see how we are doing, and if they comment to the person next to them, "Hey, that's my daughter! I'm so proud of her."
But perhaps they are caught up in the wonder, the beauty, the glory of heaven and the sight of His majesty.
I don't know. Somehow the latter seems more likely. But I wish it was the first. Sometimes it helps to think that my mom can see me, that she still loves me and is proud of me. Perhaps that's just a longing inside a giant cavern of grief.
Mother's Day is approaching. I already had a healthy cry in the
Mother's Day card aisle. And I bought 2 cards, because my mother is
amazing.
I'm going to write her and put them on her grave with some
flowers. My mother loves flowers. And I'm going to sit there and talk
to her, because maybe somehow, she can hear me. And if not, maybe God
will relay my message.

| Hey guys,
I sent the following out in an e-mail and then I realized that I don't have everyone's e-mail address.
(Sorry if you've already seen this.)
Doug and I are working on sending monthly updates by e-mail.
We need to establish a base of prayer support, etc. as we hope to head to Germany next year.
So, if any of these appeal to you:
1. you would like to hear from us regularly
2. you would like more information on what we're going to be doing
3. you would like to support us by prayer or financially
4. you would like to meet with us (even because you miss me!)
5. you would like to offer your church for us to speak at
Please e-mail me back. =)
Any
suggestions, etc. are welcome. It's kinda intimidating to start this
whole support raising thing, but we know God wants us in Germany working with military kids and we're looking forward to what he's going to do.
Love you guys,
Heike (and Doug)
PS The updates will come from Doug's e-mail address

| We got our wedding pictures back! Nathan did a great job.
Here is my favorite picture of me and Douglas:
If you'd like to see more pictures, visit my Facebook or MySpace. It's easier to download them there then it is on xanga.

| Last week I went with my Dad to pick up a headstone for mom's grave. Somehow, I never anticipated doing something like that. What do I want my mom's gravestone to say? I could write paragraphs, pages, books....but still, I don't think anyone could ever know what she meant to me.
So the grief continues, as it will, for a long time. I have slept a bit better these last couple days, so that's encouraging. I didn't realize that not sleeping well was a part of grieving. Nor that grief itself wears one out.
I gave my notice to Richland Hospital on Monday. I'll still stay on as PRN (meaning roster, so I can still work there occasionally if I want to). That way, if I miss my newborns too much I can work another shift. For now, though, I have been accepted at Providence Hospital downtown. I'll be working on the Medical-Surgical floor, in order to gain more experience in other areas of nursing. That will hopefully benefit me as I plan to work in Africa later. The nurse manager seems really nice as do the other staff. Here's hoping.
My list of grievances against Palmetto Health Richland are numerous. Should I need to go to any hospital, it will not be that one. I probably should not go into all the reasons why, but if you feel like listening to at least a 30min passionate discourse, let me know.
I will, however, miss the people I work with. They some of the best kind of people. To show how much they love me, they gave me money when my mom's accident happened and I had to be out of work so much, they helped with my wedding, they laughed with me, they supported me at my mom's visitation and memorial service and cried with me. They are only reason I stayed at Richland for this long. I shall miss them.
