Heaven is For Real

Brad shared a touching story with me the other night.  As he was putting Erin to bed and saying their prayers, Erin told him that there were two heavens.  She said Grandpa Harley & Grandpa Bernie are up in heaven and we have a heaven downstairs.  Brad was curious so he asked her to show him where heaven was.  She pulled him downstairs and pointed to this photo shown below.  Awe...She's such a little sweetheart! 
The girls have been a little curious about heaven lately since both Brad and I have recently lost our grandfathers.  Emmy told me in the car yesterday that when you get to 100 years old, you die and go to heaven.  She also said that when she goes to heaven, she's going to eat a lot of Skittles. 
She then went on to talk about Grandpa Harley and him being in heaven.  I asked her if she remembered seeing him and she replied, "Yeah, he was laying down with his eyes closed but he didn't eat his Hot Tamales." 
I don't know how she even remembers some of these things.  There was a box of Hot Tamales placed in his coffin because it was one of his favorite candies.  She has such a memory on her.  Bless her little heart!
