Heaven

Tonight's post is not a funny one, but one that shows how thoughtful & caring Mackenzie is.

While eating dinner tonight Kenzie began asking questions about Heaven. Things like

Where is Heaven?
How do you get there?
Can we visit people in Heaven?
etc.

As most of you know, my grandmother (paternal) passed away in September of 2007. Kenzie still talks about her. She remembers her & tells her sister about her. One thing that Kenzie has in common w/ my grandma is a love for ice skating. Tonight Kenzie came up with a plan. She is so sweet. She knows that Great-grandma was a skater & wants great grandma to know that she loves to skate too. Here is the conversation:

Kenzie: Can we send Great-grandma a picture of me ice skating?

Me: No honey. Great-grandma is an angel now. She lives in Heaven.

Kenzie: I know she is in Heaven Mommy. Can we ask a pilot to fly a plane up really high, all the way tp Heaven, & bring her a picture of me skating? I think it would make her happy.

Me: No, honey. Airplanes can't fly to Heaven.

Kenzie: Well then when I grow up I will be a doctor, a paratrooper & a astronaut & I'll fly a rocketship to Heaven & bring it to her myself.

Me: Great-grandma does not need a picture of you skating because in Heaven the angels can see everything so great-grandma sees you skate all the time & is very proud of you, just like me.

Isn't she a sweetheart?
