If Heaven Had Visitation Hours

Can I maybe sleepover for a night or two, or perhaps stay forever with you?

If heaven had visitation hours I would probably be the happiest living soul there is. Someone who I love and miss dearly is up there right now.

On April of 2015, my aunt passed away. She was everything to me. I considered her my second mother.

The day she passed had a permanent mark in my heart. I remember it is if it were yesterday. It was my last memory of her.

I was a junior in high school facing a difficult life transition from being with you every day to not seeing you at all.

If heaven had visitation hours I would go watch Family Feud with you because that was our show! Every day at 6 pm we were watching, guessing and laughing at the ridiculous responses people would give.

If heaven had visitation hours I would tell you about the first time I won a race in track in your honor.

If heaven had visitation hours I would give you a big hug and tell God if I can get an extra hour just hug you longer.

If heaven had visitation hours I would tell you that I love you and you were the best (second) mom I've always wanted.

If heaven had visitation hours I would want you to give me advice on how to maintain strong.

If heaven had visitation hours I would see you every single day (if God allows me)

If heaven had visitation hoursI would tell you about my pain.

If heaven had visitation hours I would tell you that I'm not okay.

If heaven had visitation hours I would laugh with you to get my mind off the bad things.

If heaven had visitation hours I would want you to assure me that I have a purpose here on Earth and that I will be happier.

I would tell you that ever since you left, I think about you and pray for you every single day. Not one single day goes by without thinking about you. I grew up with you. I was inspired by you. I aspired to be a great person just like you because you were my role model.

You left so unexpectedly at a time I needed you. I don't blame you. I would never. But, I just wish I got to enjoy my accomplishments with you from getting into the National Honor Society to being a State qualifier in Track & Field to becoming a double major in college.

Nothing is the same without you here. And it may never be. How could it be when the one person I trusted, told me secrets to, confided in, gave me advice, and loved me as if I were her own is no longer here with me, physically?

I can't hug you. I can't cry to you like I use to when something is terribly wrong. I can't watch Family Feud with you like the good old days. I can't have sleepovers or go to work with you.

All I have is our memories, our cherish memories that we made from when I was a little girl. Over 12 years of good memories and good fun times with you.

All smiles from here.

I'm glad I just didn't say goodbye because I am never good at letting go, and maybe there is a reason for that. But, I'm optimistic that someday we'll reunite and catch up on the many years without each other (physically).

I know you'll always be here in spirit---

But, If heaven had visitation hours I would reassure you that I will always be back and that we will always be together no matter what happens.

I will make you proud because I know you're always here every step through the way, helping me with my struggles.

I love you and miss you more than anything on this entire planet.

Moments like this I really did wish heaven had visitation hours. I might have to make a deal with God, who knows?

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
