Heaven to a 5 year old...


The other day, me, Kamilla and Annika were driving home from the cemetary after visiting Nora. Kamilla was talking about Nora playing in heaven and eating cotton candy. (She says the clouds are made out of cotton candy). I asked her what she thought heaven looked like and told me the following:

Heaven is a beautiful, sparkly place. It is pink and purple and is fluffy all around, and you can eat all the cotton candy you want. There is a little window where the people in heaven can watch the people on Earth. There are rocking chairs there, and God sits and rocks Nora to sleep.

I asked her to draw a picture of heaven for me when we got home. The above picture is her picture. You can't see on the picture, but she added glitter around the edges to make it sparkly. The brown "l's" in the middle are the rocking chairs, and God is standing at the left holding Nora in His arms. You can see the window at the top of the picture.

I like to hope that Nora is being rocked peacefully to sleep every night in a fluffy sparkly heaven made of cotton candy.

This is a wonderful journal for your children, and a great way to keep Nora alive in our memories. I'm so glad we were home a year ago for Easter and got to enjoy the children enjoying Easter! Nora is greatly missed! Love Mom
