(excerpted and adapted from another IM conversation):
 
 Me: Last Sunday at church there was a drama about a little girl dying and going to heaven and meeting Jesus. I tried to control myself, but tears just flowed

Friend: have you ever seen Heaven's Gate's Hell' s Flames?

Me: it was similar to that

 only a very mini version

Friend: we did that at church

Me: I have a story about when our church did Heaven’s Gates, Hell’s Flames a long time ago.

  Kait wanted to be in it. I took her to the audition and they asked me to audition, but H was still nursing
 so I declined, but stayed with Kaitlyn the whole time. I am not sure if they do it the same everywhere but Kait was chose for a scene with a family on the way home from church talking about a child in the family who had previously died. Then they get into a car accident and enter Heaven and are reunited with the other child that they had been discussing. Kaitlyn's character's name was Julie (which is my sister's name) the other (living) sister's character's name was Christi (which is what I was called when I was little).

 The directors came in the second day and had decided to change the scene to TWINS in Heaven and they named them Sarah and Rachel.

 Well, I had been struggling at that time because when  Sarah Hope died I had to have an Emergency D&C  five weeks later. The dr. said Sarah apparently had had a twin. I could barely cope with Sarah's death and had not told anyone except Russ that their was a probable twin, but we had named the "maybe baby" Rachel Faith. I just needed to chose a name.

 So when they did that in the play, I just sobbed and sobbed with relief realizing that whether or not there was a twin they were in Heaven! it was extremely healing for me.

 I told the directors afterwards and they were so touched b/c they knew they  had heard from God on changing the scene!

 She... they would have been 8 in March.
