Growing up in Heaven by Terri Collins (free children's ebooks pdf TXT) 📖

Suddenly she rememberd that voice.

"DAD?"

Faith tried to scramble to her feet as fast as she could.

When she got on her feet the little boy and her dad stood before her.

Faith begun to cry from happiness. She had never in her life been so overwhelmed.

"Dad... Can I ...

Her dad came rushing to her and hugged her and kissed her.

"DAD is this real? am I dreaming?, or am I..."

"No you are asleep. God has made it possible for me to see you again. I have something to tell you. And I asked God to bring you to me to tell you."

Faith stood speechless.

"You see this little boy?"

Faith nodded...

This is my grandon Robbie. Your Son.

Faith was condfused. I haven't had children.

"Yes you have a child. Seven years ago you miscarried. I didn't find out till I came to heaven. Robbie was here to meet me."

Faith begun to cry...

"So I have a little boy here in heaven? This is heaven?"

"Yes this is your soon. God named him. It seems he has had angels taking care of him here. Then I came and know I take care of him. You know he has my eyes..' My dad winked his arm around my son.

"So it has been Robbie visiting me?"

"yes he and I."

"Robbie was so excited he just couldn't hold back... His has a strong spirit"

"Say hello to your mommy Robbie""

Robbie came running towards me with open arms for a hug.

I held him close, I smelled him. He smelled of lavender and jasmine.

"Dad can I stay?"

"Faith it isn't your time."

Faith begun to cry.

"God gave us three a gift. This is a blessing for you. You have lived a hard life, a life I never knew. You held back so much from me to not hurt me. You were there for me in my difficult times."

Faith swiped the tears and stared from robbie to her dad, trying to imprint this vision inside her brain. She never wanted it to leave.

"Faith I Love you more than you will ever know. You still have a life to live on earth. But we must leave soon..."

Faith almost seen sadness in her dad's eyes. Robbie clung to her.

"Dad I love you and miss you so much."

Then she turned to Robbie.

"Robbie I love you too. I am so thankful to have been able to know you are here in heaven with your grandpa."

"I Love my grandpa. He plays with me, and we talk, and walk, and look down on you and grandma..."

Suddenly her dad came forward.

"Faith we must go now. We will be watching over you. Remember. This was a gift and a blessing that God made possible. miracles do happen. Robbie say goodbye for now..."

"Goodbye Mommy."

Faith began to weep again overwhelming joy...

Her dad came over to her and hugged as hard as he could as did Faith. Fatih didn't want to go. She held Robbie and her dad in one big embrace...

"Thank you Dad, I will cherish this gift until the day I die..."

"Remember Faith, Always live the best you can. Do unto others as you would do unto yourself."

She kissed her dad and her son then.

Her dad and Robbie started walking away slowly hand in hand.

"I Love you Both!!!!"

Faith wanted to run after them. She actually tried. Her dad stopped and turned and waved goodbye...

Things started to swirl. The whiteness turned dark.

"Faith..... Faith...."

She felt her body being shook. She opened her eyes... Christine was syanding over her.

"Your neighbor downstairs called me. She said she heard a loud boom and came up to knock and didn't get and answer. She knew I had a key, I came right over."

Faith sat up slowly.

"Faith did you faint or something?"

A boys giggle was clarly heard through the room.

"What was that noise?" Christine asked.

Faith smiled the biggest smile she had ever given.

"Chrstine can you help me to my bed?"

"you think that is a good idea? I was on the verge of calling a life squad."

"Help me will you. I'm fine."

Christine helped her to the bed. Faith layed down and tugged the quilt to her. holding it as tightly as she could. Handprints. Seven sets. Probably one for each year.

"Thanks Christine for coming. Your the best."

"Your very welcome. I think I will stay with you for awhile to make sure you are okay."

"I assure you I am more than okay."

Faith layed down and closed her eyes. Remebering the visons of her dad and Robbie. Overwhelmed again she began to cry.

Christine sat down on her bed and hugged her.
