Laurie4b Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I read Heaven is for Real a few months ago, and seem to remember that the mother had had a miscarriage previously and the 3 year old boy said he had met this sister in heaven. Am I remembering that correctly? Any other details about that part of the book that you recall? ( I don't own the book so I can't go back and check.)

Mosaicmind Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Yes, you are correct. And she didn't have a name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I read Heaven is for Real a few months ago, and seem to remember that the mother had had a miscarriage previously and the 3 year old boy said he had met this sister in heaven. Am I remembering that correctly? Any other details about that part of the book that you recall? ( I don't own the book so I can't go back and check.) From MSNBC But the real shocker came when Colton told his mother, “Mommy, I have two sisters.†Sonja told her son that he had to be referring to his oldest sister, Cassie, and his cousin Traci, but he responded: “No — I have two sisters. You had a baby die in your tummy, didn’t you?†Sonja told Lauer the family had never uttered a word about the miscarriage to Colton — and what’s more, they never even learned the sex of their miscarried child. “It was a private hurt that we didn’t even share with our friends,†Sonja said, adding Colton’s revelation was at first “shocking, but then a relief that she’s OK, which we didn’t know she was a she.†In a subsequent TODAY segment Monday, Sonja filled in Colton’s description of his meeting with his sister: “He told us what she looked like, and she wouldn’t stop hugging him. And she doesn’t have a name.†“When he told us about his sister in heaven, that we hadn’t told him about, [it was] another one of those ‘holy cow’ moments — OK, he can’t make this stuff up, he can’t invent this; no memory was planted,†Todd told Lauer. “But the peace that came over us, and the healing, like, ‘Wow, I have a daughter in heaven waiting for me’ — I think a lot of people need that type of hope and healing, too. And I think that’s what a lot of people are finding when they hear Colton’s testimony, to know what they have to look forward to.†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
