Is This Life After Death?

I had to laugh the other day when Kamryn and I were driving down the street and we passed by a cemetary.  She suddenly got so excited and yelled, "mommy look!"  A bit startled I turned expecting to see something extremely exciting as she continued, "I found heaven, there it is!"

I told her that the cemetary is just where our bodies go when we die. Heaven is where our spirits go and it is a much better and prettier place where we can live with our families and friends.  She sat quiet for a minute and then she said, "I wouldn't want to go to heaven if I couldn't be with my family." 

It is amazing to me that a four-year-old thinks so deeply about things.
