From about 1974, as a 4th grader I thought at any time next week...armageddon would be here and that all the "meek" would keep living forever...but first we had to clean up all the bones from all the dead people in the world. Mom said after the birds picked the meat off, that would be our job....But if you are bad..and not a Jehovah's Witness, you would "certainly perish"...and soon!
As any 4th grader, I hated missing all the fun of holidays, birthdays, etc...so I was bad in my mind...and lived till I was 25, wondering what day it would be....

My oldest sister was killed on Christmas Eve about a month before my third birthday. For some reason, I decided that I was going to die during the night when I turned 17! Imagine my surprise when I awoke the next morning ~ alive! Ever being the optimist, I decided I would die the night I turned 21! I gave up believe THAT when I woke up and was actually 21 and never believed it again. Also had a 7 mo. old niece who died when I was 7 or 8. She hadn't been baptized and I was told she was going to Purgatory. Wasn't sure what that was, but always thought she was in the celler and was afraid to go down there unless there was a light on. Thank goodness I have different beliefs now!

I had a brother die when I was 10 years old, he was 14, and we were very close. I told him when he was sick that I would miss him if something happend to him, and he didn't come home from the hospital. He told me he would be up in the clouds forever, and that if I looked real hard I would see him, and that I could talk to him. I believed this for many years, even though I knew it wasn't possible. You know I still find myself looking up, and smiling . It just makes me feel good. I still think he's up there looking down on me, and helping me get through some though things.
