Now that my grandson is a sophomore at FSU, I often reflect on the funny and often poignant things he said as a young child. This is a true story that popped into my mind this week.

“She’s in heaven with the angels,” I responded to my grandson’s question about the passing of my mother.

Weeks later when the three-year-old returned from an air show at Jacksonville Beach, I asked what he thought of the performance.

The precocious toddler shouted. “I liked the jets. They were so loud!” Then he quietly added, “But I didn’t see Mema.”

“Why did you think she would be there?” I asked.

He shrugged and replied, “Mommy promised me the Blue Angels. All I saw was a bunch of airplanes!”
