Our conversation at bedtime tonight :D

I am remembering this the best I can.....I soooo wish I would have had a recording device!!!!

P:"Mom, Carrie died.  I miss her".  Me, "I know honey, we all do". (Carrie was in his class last year and lost her 6 year battle with a brain tumor this past Saturday at the age of 7 :( We attended her funeral together on Wednesday)

P: "How did she get to Heaven?"; Me:"Jesus came and carried her to Heaven."

P: "How?"; Me:"Well Jesus can do anything, He's amazing.  He carried Carrie, like he carried Grandma Schuller and Grandpa Jerry."

P:" And Mrs. Ullman too." (at this point I am crying-Mrs. Ullman was a beloved Sunday School teacher who died of rare bladder cancer at the beginning of June)"I still miss Carrie."  Me:"I know, and Jesus knows too.  He comes and gives us hugs when we are sad."

P:"He gives us hugs when we are sad with His hands, just like you mom." (momma trying to hold back tears) Me:"Yes, honey, just like that."

P:"Jesus loves us mommy." Me:"Yes, Jesus loves you even more than I do." P:"Jesus loves me like you do, and he takes us to His house in Heaven when we die."

There there was some more conversation about Jesus and prayer and talking to God and Jesus.  Then he comes back with:"Church is God's house.  Our church in Munster, Indiana-you can see his eye (those of you who have been in our church you know that there is a huge stained glass eye shape above the alter). He doesn't talk there because you can't see his other eye or his nose or mouth."  (okay so that had me giggle a bit!)

Then the conversation turned to us on the Earth...worms that live in the Earth.....then to subway trains should be called "earth trains" like worms are called "earth worms".I almost hated to make his little tired brain go to sleep-and still wished I had tape recorded this conversation!

And I also know that I need to not talk like he isn't listening.  He hears it all and processes more than I realize.
