My Girl

I just want to record this conversation Kennedy and I had on the way to preschool today. Out of the blue she says:


K: When I go to Heaven I am going to remind God and tell God if I see any bad people. When I go to Heaven.

Me: Ok, good idea.


Silence for a minute.


K: When I go to Heaven and I see you I am going ot hug you and hug you and hug you!!!


Me: Me, too!!! And we can sing and dance all around!


K: Yeah! Do you think we will be on clouds? And we can jump on them?


Me: Well, I don't know for sure. But that sure sounds like fun!


K: Yeah! (long pause) When we are in Heaven will God still be invisible?


Me: Nope! We will be able to see Him! I am so excited to see what he looks like!


K: Me, too! (giggle) Mom, when I go to Heaven and get my new body, will I get glasses?


Me: Nope! No one will wear glasses in Heaven because everyone's eyes will be perfect!
