God, Heaven and Death...

are 3 things of great concern and hours and hours of pondering for dear Ana. 

She is such a processor and really needs to figure these 3 out.  

She knows they're related bc for years- 3 1/2 to be exact- we've talked about our loved ones in Heaven.  And she now really knows, thanks to the methodist pre-K, that God is Our Father in Heaven, but what she can't figure out is why Heaven is so great and Earth is left with all of those who haven't died.  And, more importantly, what happens when EVERYONE dies except her.  Poor little thing is really trying to understand this, but is somehow always drawn to the very scary conclusion that everyone and everything is going to die, including her parents and Nani/Gagi.

2 comments yesterday, just for examples sake bc these come at me all day long, mostly when I'm TOTALLY off guard:

1- Mommy, what happens if You, Daddy, and Taylor all die and I don't?  Will you die too so that you can come to Heaven with us?

2- Mommy are we all going to die so that we can have Heaven on Earth like God wants? (she has learned the "Our Father" and really needs to UNDERSTAND EACH AND EVERY LINE)

I MEAN REALLY! 

 HELP!!!!!!  

Where does a mom go from here??????????
