So everyone knows that I have a very inquisitive, curious mind. I hope people comment and respond to my post because something popped in my head and I'm curious to see what others think. Here it goes:
I was thinking about Grandma, which I have been doing a lot lately. I miss her so much and she would have just LOVED to see and hold Bode. Anyway, thinking about her made me think about heaven. I wondered how people look when they go to heaven.... did Grandma go to heaven the way she looked when she died?? Did she go to heaven as her younger, more vibrant self?? Is she more of just a 'spirit' in heaven, not really looking like anything?? Then I thought how happy she is to be with my Grandpa in heaven and I was thinking maybe she looks the way people remember her- so maybe for my Grandpa she looks like his best memory of her, maybe when they were younger.... I dunno, but I'm very curious now and I want to know what people think!

I'm not going to blog you if you keep making me cry! Thats a very deep thought you had. I think she's in heaven younger ad healthy looking. She's wearing whatever my favorite memory is of her. sometimes her blue dress w/ white dots that she made. other times she's in the pink dress that she wore at my wedding. Grandpa on the other hand is always wearing jeans and his favorite red plaid flannel that is hanging in my closet. Sometimes a dirty white t-shirt. I never think of them in heaven looking sick or old only younger, healthy and happy to be together. Christy, i know Mike will someday teach Bode how to fish. i guarantee you that Grandpa will be right beside him. And Grandma will make sure they all do it right! love you!
Hey there. Heaven is whatever you need/want it to be in my mind. Grandma is certainly not sick but I think that she's neither old nor young, just feeling good. No oxygen, able to ride horses, and see, and hear (WHAT????!!!!). SHe's cooking pasta and making sauce and dancing the Macarena with us and decorating for Christmas and telling us to stop coming in and out of the house, and to keep our feet off the Davenport...she's whatever she wanted most to be. Grandpa is the same I think, and so is anyone you lose. If she were still alive, she wouldn't be able to hold Bode or enjoy him the way you would want her to. At least where she is now, she can look down on him and smile knowing that you are doing a great job with him!
