through the eyes of a child

my conversation with Emma at bedtime

Emma : "I don't want you to go away mommy"

Me : "Where am I going?"

Emma: "to bed"

Me: "you don't want me to go to bed"

Emma: "no, you can go to bed"

Me: "then where don't you want me to go?"

Emma: "I don't want God to take you"

Me: "you don't want God to take me?"

Emma: "No mommy, because you're special"

She is the sweetest little girl!

We have had many conversations here recently about where my parents are.

I feel like it is very difficult to help my children understand where exactly heaven is.

Emma was so smart to absorb what we had talked. I told her that God took my mom

because He needed her for something special. 

I love you miss emma
