Homesick

My Uncle Clyde passed away this morning , he has been been very sick for the past few months. He is leaving behind his wife , kids, dogs a full life. This got me thinking about being homesick. As a Catholic Christian I believe that heaven is my true home, where I belong one day. I am homesick for heaven all the time. I want nothing more than to be with Our Lord and serve. I wonder if Clyde will get to go "home" now. He did not have any religious beliefs that I know of, so does he get to see and rejoice in the heaven I dream of daily? I think so. I know that God is loving and merciful, He wants us all to be with Him so even if one of His children has gone away from Him, he still loves them and wants to welcome them into the Kingdom..I will miss my Uncle, he was a funny, bright, loving man and his passing is sad in the view of emotion but I am also so happy for him. He gets to go home, he gets to finally be at peace. I am jealous of this great grace and gift he has been given, for there is no better feeling then going home.
