My mum called me 2 days ago. Dad feels scared being alone especially at night. He's actually not alone, but he wants mum to talk to him into the night and doesn't want her to sleep. He's already 94, so I guess he's like a little child now...afraid of being alone. I am so sad to hear that. I am afraid it could be a sign that he will no longer be with us soon. I prayed for him with my little girl, Feli, that night after I had tucked her into bed.
She looked at me and told me not to cry. "Everyone has to die one day, right? We are born, after that we have to die. Don't be sad. One day, you will see Kong kong in heaven."
Bless her little soul! She's really my little angel.
I asked her what she thinks heaven will be like. She then referred to a quote from a "Quote a day" calendar, which we had given her on her 1st Holy Communion last year. It talks about we being the house and holy temple of God.
She said, "Heaven would be like earth. There are lots of houses. If our hearts are good and we do good things, our houses will be big bangalows in heaven. Those who are not so nice would live in attap houses. There will be macdonalds and when one finishes the milkshake, there will be still be more milkshakes!"
Isn't she cute? That is a different way to view heaven...different types of houses reflecting the state of our hearts, in heaven.
She added that we can also choose what age we want to be in heaven. I told her, in that case, I want to be her age. Then I can teach her my childhood games like char-tek, kicking stones and yay-yay.
She then looked at me seriously and told me."When you go to heaven, write me a letter. Ask God for His special pen so that only I can see your letters. You must promise and shake pinkies!" I did so, but I doubt God has a special pen...she was referring to an email story we had read before. She also made me promise on a pinkie shake that I would meet her at heaven's gate when she comes.
She's really God-sent! Seems like God speaks through little children. We are so blessed with children. It's so lovely to have such child-like dialogues with our little ones. They do teach us more that we do them :)
Love Theresa
