Overheard

Posted on 8:13 PM by Unknown
Tucker:  Grandpa Rod came back (from Florida) just like Mama always comes back.
Andy:  Someday Celia will go away and won’t come back.
T:  Where is she going?
A:  Heaven.
T:  What's that? Are there playgrounds?  She will swing on the swings and slide on the slides.
A:  Yes, she will. And Colby will be there with her soon too.
T:  Maybe go see her?
Our mornings are fairly routine, but on this day, since Celia was awake when Tuck got up, he wanted her "all the way downstairs on the red couch with me."  He arranged pillows and covered her up, crawled under the quilt with her and requested The Fox and the Hound.
