A conversation with a 4 year old:

A dear family friend had past away 

and mommy and daddy were talking about it 

when Taylor overheard...

Taylor: Oh no I didn't get to say good bye to Bruce

Mommy: It's ok...

Taylor cut off: I will never see him again

Mommy: I bet you will when you get to heaven, and you will be able to talk to him then

Taylor: But when I get to heaven there will be no seats left

Mommy: Well of course there will be

Taylor: No, because you and daddy will be there too

Mommy: I sure hope so...

Taylor: Mommy, I will just sit on your lap....

and then my eyes filled with tears
