In Heaven

After the death of Poppy, we were so concerned about how to tell Cannon that Poppy was in Heaven. The day that we traveled home, Brett sat down with him and told him that "Poppy was in Heaven" and Cannon said "okay". That was it!

Everyday for the almost two weeks that we were in Conway, Cannon would wake up and the first thing he said was, "Mommy, Poppy is in Heaven". He never asked, "where is he? or when is he coming home". Kids are amazing.

One night he asked me to pray for Poppy's chickens. This is not an unusual request. He knows that they are in Heaven too and we often pray for them for some reason.

After praying, we were talking about Poppy. I asked Cannon "what do you think Poppy is doing in Heaven?". He replied, "drinking lemonade and eating chicken!!"

Now I know why we pray for them. Poor chickens.
