How is all got started....

So I am starting this blog to document all the things my son- age 3, tells me about Jesus and Heaven and all things related to our heavenly father! He has this incredible interest in Heaven! It started a few months back when he started to look at a picture of my Grandpa that I leave out in the living room. My Grandpa past away in 2004 so my son never had the pleasure of meeting him. It really always makes me sad because they would have been great friends. My Grandpa was a farmer and my little guy LOVES farmers and tractors! My Grandpa was also funny and silly with us kids, and he was a really friendly guy. Anyways, my son was drawn into this tiny picture of my Grandpa holding a birthday cake. I told him that it was his Great Grandpa who had died and was in Heaven now. I think we talked a little more about how my Grandpa lived on a farm and drove tractors and how he was Big Grandmas (what he calls my grandma) Hunny. So that was that! A few weeks later he asked if we could please go visit his Grandpa. Now, my husband and I our both products of divorced families so my kids have 4 Grandpas. I went through naming them all which to each he'd say- NOPE! Finally he said, "No! I want to see my Grandpa who lives on the farm!" It broke my heart to tell him that he wouldn't be able to meet him until he went to heaven and that is when all the questions began....
