"How's your--"
SLAM!
dad doing?
My alarm and its 5 o'clock music interrupted the question in my dream this morning, but I heard it anyway. And no surprise, it's woven to my sub-conscience, because yesterday was the eight-month mark since my dad's passing.
As I lay in bed before getting up, running over the sadness of that question--How's your dad doing?--I remembered what my five-year-old said last night when I tucked her in.
"We know where Papa is. Papa's in Heaven."
This after no prompting from me. I hadn't shared with her what date it was.
How's your dad doing?
And the answer pressed me, just like I'd pressed the alarm's snooze button.
He's in Heaven.
I trust it because my daughter knows the truth. She is a pure and open channel that way. She knows.
My dad's doing just fine.

Glad your girl gave you that comfort.
What a comfort that is!
Him and my mom are looking down on us and smiling. :O)
Hugs, Janna. You have a very wise little girl. :-)
I tell my daughter how my Dad is up in Heaven watching us and protecting us. She never knew him, but I can see her face brighten when I tell her about all the love in Heaven looking out for us.
Sending love and hugs to you Janna.
Yes he is just doing fine and he is part of your future!
Definitely need a "like" button! I'm so sorry for your physical separation, but I am so happy you will see him again!
Janna, blessings, dear friend.
Hello!!

That knowledge really is a comfort to us left on earth. (hugs) I know it's still not easy.
Yes, he is just fine!
That was a nice kiss on the cheek from God, just for you!
Blessings to you all. I love it when God uses kids to talk to us.
So beautiful.
Simple.
But beautiful.
I can relate to that. Something similar said by my younger son when my husband passed away many years ago. And I've been having many thoughts as his death anniversary approaches on the 27th.
