Merry Christmas. Love, Jennifer
(In the previous story, “Merry Christmas, Jennifer!”, Wayne
Furrow sent his departed daughter, Jennifer, a Christmas letter
via the Internet. It was picked up by many people and shortly
after, Mr. Furrow received this reply.)
Dad,
I did get to experience the Internet and you’re right - I love it. I don’t think
it’s the same Net you are on though. I travel the universe no downtime,
flames, smears, nothing like that at all.
I am still with you Christmas morning. You didn’t see me? Actually, I’m
with Sarah, Dad and Mom every morning. Haven’t you felt my presence?
Heard my voice? Seen me in a thousand different places? I can do that for
awhile but eventually I will have to spend more and more of my time
spreading around the good things you taught me: love, caring, giving and
loyalty.
I can’t say that I miss you because where I am there are no feelings that are
sad. Honestly! Not ever! I do know when you think of me and I am happy.
Did you know that I can view my whole life with you and Sarah and Mom in
just a few seconds! Can you imagine?
I have so many other friends here that are the greatest. I believe someday
you’ll find out for yourself. Just remember this Daddy, I’m never sad. I have
a feeling that someday this great feeling will be even greater. That’s because
you’ll be with me. Don’t be in any rush though. There are a lot of neat things
that you can do down there that I can’t do up here, like, love Mom a lot.
Love, Jennifer
