    About this ebook

    Heaven’s Orphans. There are millions of children who never make it to this earth, millions of children unable to communicate or share their fate. Heaven’s Orphans is a short story that provides a glimpse into their existence, into the souls of the children orphaned before birth.

    Heaven’s Orphans is a tale of the unborn. It is a tale of those miscarried, aborted, and stillborn, and it explores possibilities related to their fate. Little is known or discussed in religion or otherwise about what happens to these children, and Heaven’s Orphans paints a picture to help consider their fate, their world, and their reality.

    Ultimately, Heaven’s Orphans speaks to the eternal nature and reality of the human existence, to the importance of family, and to a source of happiness. Children make life beautiful, and their fate is an important piece in the grand tapestry of humanity.

      Chapter 1

      Goodbye Avalee! I said with excitement. My time here is done. I’ve been waiting sooo long for my chance to go to Earth, and I can’t believe it is finally my turn to go. Avalee smiled at me in response, but looked away as a tear reached her eye.

      I hate these moments Avalee finally said. I’ve said goodbye to so many people, and I still have to watch so many others before it is my time to go to Earth. I have a hard time believing things will actually work out as planned.

      Attempting to contain my excitement in order to try and console my friend and future daughter, I said I know how it feels. I’ve said goodbye to so many too, so many that I don’t yet know how their journey on Earth ends.

      You’ve never been left alone though Avalee said in response as her voice broke down. You are the last person I have. Nobody else cares about me in any meaningful way.

      You’ll always be with me though Avalee. Remember - because I get to be your mother on Earth, we exchanged our heartstrands. A piece of me will be with you, and a piece of you with me. It will only be a few years before you get to come and be with me. Just stay strong. You will make it a little longer.

      Avalee looked at me in sadness, but with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. You promise that you will have me? she asked me.

      Of course I replied. You mean the world to me. I promise. I promise. I promise I said as I threw my arms around her. I would want nothing more than to be your mother, just like my mother promised to have me, and now she is living up to that promise. I squeezed her tight, and with that, it was my time to go to
