We have certainly had a missing piece in our lives since Larry passed away. It is has been therapeutic to remember him almost daily through Tess. She has been wonderful about asking simple questions about him and reminding us of some of the special times that they shared. she even talks to him occasionally during her night time prayers.
"remember that time Pa-Pa, Tony and me fed the ducks?"
"Dear Jesus, thank you for keeping Pa-Pa safe in heaven with you"
"How long did it take Pa-Pa to get up to heaven?"
"Who is Pa-Pa with in heaven?, maybe he is with your Grandma and Grandpa, Mommy"
When Tess asked about Pa-Pa coming down from heaven to visit, we reminded her that he can't come back, but we can look at pictures and talk about him anytime to remember him, she would talk to him when she says her prayers, that night this was the conversation she had....
"Hi, Pa-Pa (in her voice). "Hi, Tessa (In a deeper voice)", "I hope you are doing fine with Jesus, living there, I miss you", (In a deep voice reply), "Thank you Tessa, I love you", "Night-night Pa-Pa."
This Mommy certainly had tears that night! We are so proud of her! An adjustment for all of us, and we can learn so much from her!!
