where did they go?

last night, while i was watching episode3 of 7th heaven.. this scene really struck me..

Because Simon's grandmother just died.. he asked his mom where did his grandmother go.. then Annie just said, "in heaven".. he followed that with, "where is heaven?".. his mom gave an answer but didn't satisfy him.. he wants details.. so he asked almost all the guests the same question, trying to find the best answer.. i was thinking he wants to know where he could go to find his grandmother.. but unfortunately, no one gave him an answer that could fill his curiosity.. until he bumped on his youngest sister, Ruthie (maybe 2 or 3 years old then)

Ruthie: i know the answer
Simon: no, you don't
Ruthie: yes i know.. its where i am before i got here
Simon: you were in mommy's tummy before you got here
Ruthie: no, no.. even before that
Simon: and where is that? i don't know where to imagine grandma
Ruthie: (placing her hand in simon's heart) you imagine grandma here.. in your heart
*Simon smiles.. he sure got the answer to his question *

its really amazing how little kids have the answers to the hardest questions on earth..

so inspired by Ruthie Camden.. i made another haiku to answer Simon's question

no one really knows
but to us who love them so
in our hearts they'll stay
