I Dreamed I Went to Heaven is dedicated to my mother, Cindy Thrush. She is the mind behind this story and the one who came to me with the idea to write a story about heaven. She, like so many of us, long to know what heaven will look like one day; what we will do; and what to expect.
My mother has been an inspiration for me all throughout life in how we should treat others. She has one of the most caring and generous hearts of anyone I have ever met. She will go out of her way to help someone in need, even at great expense or inconvenience on her part.
This is a characteristic that Jesus exhibited here on earth, and taught his disciples to share with the world. The gospel of Jesus Christ is to love the the Lord with all your heart, with all your soul, and all your mind. And to love others as Christ loved the church. This love is not to be confused with conditional love, but rather, a love that puts others first at all times; a sacrificial kind of love; a love that never fails, and will always be there. Love is action. My mother has taught me this through her love for others.
I love you, mom, and this novel is for you. :)
