“In heaven, my darling, where I hope soon to be with them and your dear Uncle Ashley.”
“When will I go?”
“In God’s own good time. Try to live each day aright, and then you will have a home with them and never be parted from them.”
“Who will stay with me when you go?”
“My sister, Sarah Warfield, I hope. I have prayed for that, and God answers prayer.”
“Why doesn’t she write to you? You said you wanted a letter.”
“Why not, oh, why not?” echoed Mrs. Ashley. “I do so long for a word from her.”
“But I would rather go to heaven with you and my father and mother. What is heaven?”
“It is a beautiful home where we will live forever.”
“And will we never come back?”
