Heaven

I woke up later on and it was still dark. I got out of bed and walked
into Mom and Dad’s bedroom.
“Mommy?” I whispered. It was completely dark, so I couldn’t see
her open her eyes. “Mommy?”
“You okay, honey?” she said groggily.
“Can I sleep with you?”
Mom scooted over toward Daddy’s side of the bed, and I snuggled
up next to her. She kissed my hair.
“Is your hand okay?” I said. “Via told me Daisy bit you.”
“It was only a nip,” she whispered in my ear.
“Mommy ...” I started crying. “I’m sorry about what I said.”
“Shhh ... There’s nothing to be sorry about,” she said, so quietly I
could barely hear her. She was rubbing the side of her face against
my face.
“Is Via ashamed of me?” I said.
“No, honey, no. You know she’s not. She’s just adjusting to a new
school. It’s not easy.”
“I know.”
“I know you know.”
“I’m sorry I called you a liar.”
“Go to sleep, sweet boy.... I love you so much.”
“I love you so much, too, Mommy.”
“Good night, honey,” she said very softly.
“Mommy, is Daisy with Grans now?”
“I think so.”
“Are they in heaven?”
“Yes.”
“Do people look the same when they get to heaven?”
