Holes in the Floor of Heaven

I was driving to a friends house about three hours away today and I was surfing the radio stations and heard that song by Steve Warnier, "Holes in the Floor of Heaven" and it makes me wonder are there really holes in the floor of heaven?  Do you suppose those that have gone before us can see us and what we are doing now?  While I was listening to this song it made me think about my grandfather, who I have recently lost.  I thought about it for quite a while after the song was finished and it made me wonder can they see us, do they know how we are doing?  Can he see my daughter and how big she is, how she is talking and walking?  What do you think?

There are certain things that make me think of him and make me miss him, how when he smiled there was this light that resonated from him, a light that we know came from God.  How his smile could light up an entire room and make your day with just one smile.

There are so many things I miss about him, how he could fix anything.  If I had something wrong with my car I could just call him up and say "grandpa it is making a clunking sound here, what do you think it is?" and he could tell you, especially so you don't get taken by some mechanic (no hard feelings to any mechanic).  He could make anything out of nothing, he could take a knotty, dry looking piece of wood and fashion it into a beatiful jewelry box.  It was amazing.  I used to love to sit and watch him while he whittled wood or tinkered with some sort of mechanical item, or how he seemed to know every answer to all of the questions on Jeopardy!!  He was just an amazing person and I miss him and everything about him.

I guess my blog today is a tribute to him, what a wonderful person he was and how much I miss him.  So hopefully there are holes in the floor of heaven and he can see all of us and how much we all still love him, miss him and that we know we will see him again some day in heaven.
