Letter to JPD from Up in the Air


Dear J,

I wish you were here on the plane with me so much! From up here in the sky, all the little lakes down below look like little mirrors reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. I bet if I could look at just the right place, I would see my very own airplane in one of those mirrors!

You would love seeing all the farms way down below. The fields look like a quilt with lots of green and brown rectangles all patched together.

And now we’re coming over the huge city and WOW I can see the big big Chicago airport down below—it looks like a toy play airport with the little airplanes all lined up. My plane will be landing there soon.

And WOW! The huge city skyline with a line of skyscraper buildings! If we went into one of those buildings, the elevator would have fifty floor buttons to choose from. But from way up here those towering buildings look tiny, sticking up like the soda straw stalagmites that we saw on our trip to the cave. In the distance, all behind the big city buildings, I can see Lake Michigan, which looks like a shiny yellow mirror with the early morning sun shining on it. I’m not too far from where Paddle washed ashore in that sailor’s duffle bag in our story.

J there is so much to see that I can’t even write it all! I can’t wait to bring you up here with me! It is so much fun to explore God’s beautiful, amazing world with you, my dear little guy! I sure am missing you right now!

Love always,
Mom
