Today as we were driving home, Taylor and I had this sweet, sweet conversation. (I have to record this on our blog for years to come!)
Taylor: Mom, is Jesus in heaven?
Me: Yep, that's where he lives.
Taylor: Is Lynette in heaven?
(Side note: Lynette is Hank's younger sister who tragically, unexpectantly died five years ago. We talk about Lynette often and even gave Taylor her middle name in honor of her Aunt Lynette. Even though Taylor never had the chance to meet her sweet auntie, we want her to know about her.)
Me: (trying to choke back tears) Yep, she's in heaven with Jesus.
Taylor: That's good!
Me: Yeah honey, it's good for her. But, we are still sad because we miss her.
Taylor: I miss her too!
Oh gosh, the flood gates are running again as I think of this sweet conversation we had today. For one, I am amazed that she understands that Jesus is in heaven. And two, she already knows it's a good thing to be in heaven with Jesus.
Sweet, huh?
