Last night at dinner some of the little kids were discussing Heaven. I don’t know if it was because we had just come home from 5:30 mass and they were commenting on something said during the sermon, or maybe something else brought up the subject, but I overheard the conversation as I was clearing the dinner dishes:
Alex: It’s not like that. You don’t need a house.
Aislynn: Yes, you do. Where are you going to sleep?
Alex: I don’t know, but I don’t think there are houses in Heaven.
Aislynn: There are.
A.J.: How do you know — have you been there, huh? (sarcastic child of mine!)
Avery: Well, I’m looking forward to going to Heaven one day.
Alex: What? Why? You know you have to die to get there, right? (factual and practical boy of mine!)
Avery: I know. But I’m still looking forward to it. Because then I’ll get to see our baby.
Then it was quiet for a few seconds…
Alex: Well, that’s one good thing. But still. I’m in no hurry.
How sweet of Avery to say that. Although hearing her words sent a quick little stab through my heart, it felt good to hear that our baby – who would have been born this month – is still thought of and remembered 
I was reading your blog and came back to this post. When I left the comment above back on Dec 16
I did not know I was pregnant. We found out on Dec.25
{Christmas morning}……but I miscarried on Jan 20.
I was 8w 4ds. This was our 7th child and my first miscarriage. I pray God will give us a rainbow baby!
{baby after a miscarriage} I am a Catholic too.
I started a new blog to journal my loss.

Oh Katrina,
I did not know you had a miscarrage~

I will keep you in my prayers!
I am sorry for your loss!
Kids do say the to cutest things!
He’s so sweet to have remembered!
Peace and Joy,
Georgiann
Such sweet words!
When my father-in-law died I bought the book Heavenfor Kids- adapted from the best selling book Heaven by Randy Alcorn. And yes, it’s so sweet that they are remembering the baby you lost.
