The Wisdom of Children
Adam: Where is Grandma Maxine?
GaGa BJ: She is up in Heaven.
Adam: I would like to see her.
GaGa BJ: Someday when you are really old, you can see her.
Adam: And Grandma Lou.
GaGa BJ: Grandma Maxine and Grandma Lou.
Lauren: Adam, do you know where heaven is?
Adam: No.
Lauren: It is way up high in the sky.
Adam: I can’t see her.
Lauren: That’s because she is with the clouds.
Adam: We can’t drive up there.
Lauren: No, but when we are very, very old, God picks us up in his arms and floats us up to heaven. Then you can see her.
Adam: Oh
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual
"bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of
interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny
story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing
events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human
experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed
down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local
communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When
you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better
understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better
understand ourselves.
