Heaven

Kali 3.7 and I had a discussion last night about her Great-Grandma's passing. She doesn't really understand death yet, but it was worth a try.

Me: We're going to Great Grandma's funeral tomorrow. She died.

Kali: Where is she now?

Me: She's in heaven.

Kali: Where's heaven?

Me: It's in the clouds.

Kali: She's up in the clouds?

Me: Yep, she's up there with Great Grandpa.

Kali: Did he die too?

Me: Yes, there up in the clouds together.

Kali: Are they with Baby Jesus?

Me: Yes.

Kali: Is Jesus with his mommy and daddy?

Me: Yes.

Kali: We should get on an airplane and go up to visit them.

Me: Not a bad idea. Do you want to visit the clouds?

Kali: No, I want to stay in my bed.

Me: OK, you can stay in your bed. We'll visit there another time.
