As we were cuddling Sadie down for bed just before we said her prayers we had a cute conversation that I don't want to forget.
"Where's Great Grandma?"
"She's in Heaven."
"Why?"
"Because her body got old so her spirit went to heaven. She is SO happy there. She gets to be with Jesus and her Mommy who she hasn't gotten to see in a really long time. So she is HAPPY!"
"(Whine) I miss her!"
"Me too!"
"Can we call her?"
"No, there are no phones in heaven; but you can talk to her any time you want to and she will hear you."
"Okay! Can I right now?"
"Sure!"
"Great Grandma Vilate, I miss you. I love you! All my Grandma's and Grandpa's be okay."
Then she leaned in and just hugged me, did some whimpers and said,
"I miss her!"
"Me too Sadie, Me too! We will get to see her again someday!"
Sadie has always been very in tune with feelings and how other people feel. I LOVE that about her. She has also always loved elderly people, which for her age is very unique. I think most little kids are a little unsure. She LOVES to talk to "Grandma's" in the store and has since she was tiny! One of the first few times she saw my Grandma Beebe she excitedly greeted her by saying, "Good Morning Sunshine!" (which my Grandma Beebe always had a little poem she said with that when she woke up my Mom:
'Good Morning Mary Sunshine,
How are you this fine day?
The sun is up, the birds are out,
what do you have to say'
In which my Mom would reply: 'Go away!' )
Then that entire night Sadie sat by her and made sure she had everything she needed! It was so sweet. And tonight, that just melted my heart. She just kept hugging me and whimpering and talking about how she missed Great Grandma Vilate, and how she wanted to see her! Although we can't see her, I know she is here with us! I definitely know she was with us tonight! I love you Granny!

I can't even see my screen to type! What a sweeties Sadie is. I just love how she has always loved elderly people which is such a tender thing at her young age. Tell Sadie I miss Great Grandma Vilate too! Miss and love YOU all too.
Dad & I just read this together....we are both crying....that is so tender. I know Sadie has a special gift to be in sync with the elderly. She has a compassionate way about her for their needs.
This is one of those very special moments with your little Sadie...and I agree: Great Grandma Vilate HAD to have been there. I believe Sadie was feeling GG Vilate's spirit there with you tonight and with that connection, she also missed her. So sweet, so tender. Thanks for sharing this most precious story. I could feel the sweetness of the moment. Love you, Sadie!
That was sooo sweet. Thanks for sharing.
That is so precious!! She is so sweet!!! I enjoyed reading that and you got me crying once again!!!
That is SO sweet and tender. You have a WONDERFUL daughter! I love and miss you all so much. I too miss GG Vilate. Sadie is so cute. That is such a special moment...and how wonderful to record that.
I'm am so sorry to hear of the passing of your sweet Granny, what a sweet and tender lady she was. Your post was so kind and loving, and what an amazingly loving daughter you have.
