Mia Knows Her Other Grandpa

I love this story and I thought I'd share it for Father's Day weekend.


One day our granddaughter Mia (she was two at the time) asked our daughter-in-law, "Mommy, do you have a Daddy?"

(Lori's Dad passed away when Lori was just seventeen. She and our son Erik met on the first Anniversary of his death.)
So Lori told Mia that yes, she had a Daddy, and she reminded Mia that they had talked about him and that he was in Heaven.

Later that evening while Mia was brushing her teeth and getting ready for bed Lori asked Mia, "Why did you ask me about my Daddy?" And Mia said, "Because I know him."

Lori: "You know him?"
Mia: "Yes, I know him."
Lori: "How do you know him?"
Mia: "I know him very, very, very well."
Lori: "When did you see him?"
Mia: "It was a long, long, long time ago."
Lori: "Did he say anything to you?"
Mia: "Yes, he said to say 'Thank you'."

I love it!

Blessed Father's Day
to Fathers here on Earth
and to Fathers watching over us from above in Heaven
