When My Grandma Went to Heaven

Book Cover & Preview Text
When we arrived at the hospital, Grandma’s door was closed. This was different since the door was always wide open. We walked over to her door and opened it together. My Pa was there sitting next to Grandma’s bed and I knew that my Grandma was no longer there. My Mom sat on her bed and held her close in her arms as she cried. I could tell through her tears that my Mom knew that Grandma was okay now since God would have been so very loving and gentle as he came to pick her up and bring her home to Him in heaven. It was time.
I sometimes get angry and ask my Mom why my Grandma had to leave us and go to heaven when I was so young. I would say that I hardly knew her. After all, I was only 6 years old when she went to heaven. But my Mom would tell me that God must have thought that this was just enough time for me to know how much I was loved by her.
