Where is heaven?


There are a few sayings and stories of Kiira's and Evan's that I want to make sure not to forget. Like....

"lasterday" - def. yesterday or any day before that (kiira circa 2006)
"bemember" - def. remember (kiira circa 2006)
"belaxing" - def. relaxing (kiira circa 2006)
"mony" - def. mommy (Evan circa 2007) This one is especially dear to our hearts since our good friend in England was actually named Mony

"Where is heaven?", we were asked several times in the last two years. Our two kitties, Bullseye and Calvin, have gone to heaven in this time. What do you tell a 4 year old? They don't REALLY understand it so I tend to put it in rosy terms as far as "heaven is where the kitties get to play all day, or where they can have as many treats as they want." After Calvin died, we had a friend of Kiira's over for a playdate. She asked where Calvin was and Kiira said in heaven. Her friend, who is a year younger, asked, "Where is heaven?" Kiira's response was priceless. It truly shows they don't really understand the concept as hard as they try.
Her response to "where is heaven?" She paused for a moment and then apropos of nothing simply said, "I don't know...somewhere next to Berkeley I think."

I miss Max's "yesterday ago" for any day before today.
