I wonder about Mama in Heaven. I suppose I wonder about all of the members of my Forever Saints Fan Club. I try to envision where they are and what Heaven looks like and what they are doing. I am a writer and so I can create whatever I want when it comes to Heaven. And so for Mama, I ask myself, “Did she go looking for St. Lucy? Or Saint Jude? Or Saint Anthony?”
I
ask myself how Mama is occupying her time. It’s hard for me to envision her in
any other way except to see her in her recliner, reading or watching TV or
visiting with family or even taking her meals there in the living room. Because
that’s how I saw her for the last few years of her life.
But
I believe Mama did go looking for and found her favorite saints in Heaven. And,
I believe she is still watching over her family here on earth. I can just see
her now having a conversation with St.
Lucy about the eyesight of her aging children still on this earth. Telling her
St. Lucy that she needs to help us. I
can also see St. Lucy rolling her eyes and thinking maybe she had better look
into the matter or she wouldn’t have a bit of peace.
I don’t know how Mama spends her time in
Heaven. But one thing, I know for sure is the fact that Mama is still watching
the New Orleans Saints with perfect vision now. She’s still cheering them on.
