Okay...so it's been way too long since I wrote anything about the Phillips Fam! Of course, lots is always going on and Hank is always saying something (in the car as we're driving no less) that about causes me to laugh so hard I may wreck. The other day we were driving down the road, me, Hannah & Hank or Hanker (as sometimes he refers to himself) and we see an ambulance, fire truck, crazy speeding police cars (necessary?) which always sparks questions about death. H&H begin guessing what/where the rescue squad is doing...did someone die? maybe there was a really huge big fire? maybe there are robbers somewhere? well, the list goes on but I'll stop there. As I'm trying to navigate our way down Quivira on a crazy Saturday...I attempt to answer some of these questions...well, maybe someone did die and the ambulance is taking them to a funeral home. Wrong answer! Hank starts asking questions...what's a funeral home? are there dead people there? does the funeral home "put" people in Heaven? All very good questions. Again, I attempt to answer without getting into embombing and the like, but simply say, well, the funeral home takes care of the body and as for Heaven, the bodies stay here and just their souls go to Heaven because Jesus provides us with new bodies! Silence...mmmm, what's going through Hank's big inquisitive brain? Here it comes..."So, mom, are Grandma Colleen & Michael Jackson back alive in Heaven?" That, my friends about caused me to drive off the road...between tears & laughter...my Hank (& Hannah too) always seem to put things so simply. Man, I love my peepers...what a daily blessing they are!
