Ella has been talking about her Grandma H. quite a bit. She never knew her in person as Grandma (my mom) passed away less than a year before Ella and Nate were born. But Karin and I have shown lots of pictures to the twins and talked about Grandma.
Ella's middle name (Philanise) was my mom's name. A few days back we were practicing family names and I asked Ella about Grandma H.'s name, and Ella said, "She's Philanise, just like me." Tonight, Ella picked up a toy phone and started talking into it. "Ya, hi ... How are you? ... I'm fine." Then she pretended to hang up and told Karin, "I was talking to Grandma H. She's in heaven."
I miss my mom a lot but I know she is watching over Nate and Ella.

That story about Ella brought me to tears...it is amazing how beautiful the words of a child can be. Priceless.
