Mattilyn and have had discussions before about Heaven and how perfect it will be. This morning the subject was brought up again and we were talking about how once we are there we will never die or get sick or hurt. She said she can't wait to get there and meet the other kids. She kept saying how she was ready to go and I told her that we needed to stay on earth as long as we are supposed to and we will go to Heaven when it is time. I told her that we needed to pray about our time on earth. I told her I didn't want her going to Heaven without me because I want her here on earth.
She looked at me with her big brown eyes wide open and said, "Mama, if you go to Heaven before me..." (pause for effect and for me to think she will say how lost she would be without me), "I will still have my daddy... and your jewelry". She looked down at my phone and in just as serious a voice and with eyes still big she said, "And mama, if you go to Heaven before me can I have your phone?"
