Where is Heaven?

Jason's Aunt Carol passed away on Sunday, August 8th. She had Leukemia, but was diagnosed less than a year ago.  She read our blog often, especially with all the time she spent in the hospital.  We kept up with her CaringBridge site too.  Towards the end when her treatments didn't take we started talking to Taylor about her being sick and then eventually about dying. She knew that Daddy's sister's Jaime and Julie died and that they were angels in heaven, but I don't think she really ever thought too hard about it.

We went to visit Carol 6 days before she passed away.  I am so shocked how fast it took her because she looked so good and she seemed to be in good spirits and even up and about that day.  We went out in the back yard of the motherhouse (School Sister's of Notre Dame) and looked at the deer and Taylor and Parker both had a great time. We started telling her that Carol was going to go to heaven soon. She asked lots of questions.  Where is heaven? Will I go to heaven? Will I ever see Carol again? Will she be with Daddy's sisters?  Kids really are so cute and innocent. We explained that heaven was over the clouds and some day when she dies she will go to heaven too and be with Carol and Jaime and Julie. She said she didn't want to die yet! And she asked if next time we go in the airplane if we can go to heaven?

This past weekend we went to Carol's wake and funeral services. She did so good with it. She knew Mawmaw was sad and she was very sensitive. 

We will miss Carol, but we will see her again someday!
