Last Night's Fireworks

I had forgotten that whenever we see fireworks, Jessie always says, "Jesus!" Somehow she identifies fireworks with Jesus in Heaven. And for the past 4 years she's been saying, "Daddy!" also when the fireworks go off. I tried to explain to her that the fireworks were beautiful but it wasn't Heaven. Nothing I've ever said mattered. She got quiet for a bit and I looked down at her as she sat on the floor. She was quietly waving and said, "Hi, Daddy!" Talk about wanting to cry! It broke my heart. There was nothing I could say to her. Just hugged her a little tighter.
