The Playground of Heaven

FAITH

By Lesa Schoner

W

hen my son, Zach was in the third grade, one of his beloved classmates, died due to a congenital illness. Zach, an asthma sufferer, had spent many recesses and PE periods in his buddy’s company. Due to the nature of the boy’s illness, the class had some slight understanding of its seriousness. However, no one is ever prepared for such a loss. I remember, like it was yesterday, the exchange between Zach and me the day he came home from school with this news. Zach’s demeanor was solemn, but definitely not sad. I asked him how he felt as I was somewhat relieved to see he wasn’t completely falling apart. He shared that he was sorry for his buddy’s family and friends because they would miss him terribly. At the same time, he felt great comfort in the fact that he was certain his buddy was busy throwing a football or chasing after others in the playground of Heaven. A smile crossed Zach’s face as he thought of the boy’s heavenly body free from the pain and constraints

) € — ness came over my chatty child as he expressed his worry for some of his classmates. Apparently, as Zach 10 / PRAYER AND ACTION_OCT 11

shared his thoughts of his buddy and Heaven – many others asked what he was talking about, some even suggested there was no such thing. I just sat there unsure of how to respond‌when Zach said “I am just so worried for all those kids because they don’t know about Heaven. What do you do if you don’t have Heaven? I guess you’re just left < $ " ‚~ ƒ * realized until that moment what a gift the church had given my child. His par-

ish, his spiritual community had given him Heaven. The value of that gift to my child was clearly a HUGE comfort and in turn that gift to me was priceless. It is in this time of schools return, fall programs beginning anew and stewardship that I am reminded of all the gifts a parish gives back to its community. I know that as my 21 year old son continues through all that life has in store; he still cherishes those gifts.
