and she's seeing the throne of God.

1After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this." 2At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.3And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne. 4Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads. 5From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits[a] of God. 6Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal.
   In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come." 9Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, 10the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
 11"You are worthy, our Lord and God,
   to receive glory and honor and power,
   for you created all things,
      and by your will they were created
      and have their being."

This is Revelation 4. Amazing huh? My mamoo is standing at His throne.

Hey Mamoo,
can't believe you are dancing with Jesus already! I just am so jealous! As much as I wish you were here, I know you wouldn't dare  want to come back after what you've seen. I miss you like crazy already. I am not sure what I am going to do without you here.  I looked up to you more than you'll ever know. I tried to expain it several times, but words do not do it justice. I will definitely miss our "mamoo and nicki" times. Sitting out on the back porch until late hours, then going inside to finish our conversation while eating cookies and milk. Joking about pushing you down the hill in your wheel chair (I know you are sad you missed out on that!) All our games of skip-bo and yahtzee. You taught us all the importance of family, and to stick by each other through it all. I will miss our long long phone calls about life. I'll keep you updated, don't even worry. I'm sorry I never got to take you to Hawaii like I promised. But I know you could care less after seeing heaven. I don't know who is going to push me in the middle of my back and tell me to sit up straight! I am so thankful to have you as my mamoo, a best friend, really. I wish every granddaughter had a mamoo. I hope I can become half the woman you were. I love you with all my heart, I'll be there with you soon.

"love you much,"
nicki
