Today, I received a text and I don't want to forget it so I'm going to write about it. My sister texted me this afternoon and share with me something my niece, Claire Michael, said to her today. My niece is 4 years old.
Out of the blue, she said to her mama: "does Chandler miss me like I miss him? If Jesus healed him then why can't he come out of heaven?"
Wow! That little girl is doing some thinking! Then she goes on to say: "but when you get really old like Mimi and grandmama you go to heaven but they're glad cuz they miss Chandler . . .and their dads."
Obviously, her remark about Chandler missing her brought tears to my eyes. She was so young when he passed away but she sees pictures of him all the time and she hears about him a lot. She remembers him and that makes me smile. And, then she mentions her grandmothers and the fact that they are older and they will be glad to go to heaven because they will get to see Chandler and their daddy's. Hearing that really brought a smile to my face. She is a great thinker. She's thinking some deep thoughts and her thoughts are right on!
From the mouths of babes!
