Is Heaven In The Yellow Pages?

The following poem reminds me of the 2 little girls I child sit after school a few days a week. They lost their mom to breast cancer the day after my son was born almost 3 years ago. I didn't know her but I sure wish I had. It turns out we had an awful in common. I try to talk about her often with the girls. They have even given me a couple of pictures of her with them. The lady next door died of breast cancer this past spring. She had 2 sons 11 and 15. Please keep these littles and young man in your prayers this holiday season.

Also ladies, do a breast exam monthly and get a mammogram if your doc recommends it. I was supposed to get one 2 years ago but never went. I had an obvious lump some 11 years ago. They were able to get me in for a mamo and biopsy within a week. It turned out to be nothing and went away. As much as I can't stand women on the internet all but claiming being over 40 something is old, it does remind me I need to be more vigilant about my health. Today I will get on the horn and get that doctors appointment I've been putting off for a couple of years.

Is Heaven In The Yellow Pages?

Mommy went to Heaven, but I need her here today,

My tummy hurts and I fell down, I need her her right away.

Operator can you tell me how to find her in this book?

Is heaven in the yellow part? I don't know where to look.

I think my Daddy needs her too, at night I hear him cry.

I hear him call her name sometimes, but I really don't know why.

Maybe if I call her, she will hurry home to me.

Is Heaven very far away, is it across the sea?

She's been gone a long, long time she needs to come home now!

I really need to reach her, but I simply don't know how.

Help me find the number please, is it listed under "Heaven"?

I can't read these big words, I am only seven.

I'm sorry operator, I didn't mean to make you cry.

Is your tummy hurting too, or is there something in your eye?

If I call my church maybe they will know.

Mommy said when we need help that's where we should go.

I found the number to my church tacked up on the wall.

Thank you operator, I'll give them a call.
