Together Forever....

As we were driving to Sydney's allergy shots a few weeks back Sydney asked me, "When I die will I be able to find you in heaven?" Her question quickly took me back to when I was about her age worrying about death. I remember crying on my bed being scared that I was going to die and live in heaven f o r e v e r and e v e r! What was I going to do forever and ever and ever and ever?

I told Sydney that we would be able to find each other and get to be together forever. Our whole family. She sat there for a minute and said, "I want to die with you so we don't get lost." "I don't think we will be able to find each other." I said, "Sydney, I will die before you when I am really, really, really old and wait for you in heaven." "I will be waiting for you."

She said, "When you find me will we come back to T, California together?" I could tell she was getting really worried and wanted to make sure to reassure her that we will be together and find each other. We talked about death and finding each other for about a week. Her little questions starting making me feel a little anxious about death. I am so glad that I get to be with you forever and ever and ever and ever Sydney. I will find you. I won't let you get lost. I love you!
