From the Comments - By LJ

"You said Mommy died and went to Heaven," my daughter explained. "I climbed the tree to get closer to Heaven."

I sighed and forced my teeth not to grind. "Well, okay, but it's an awfully big tree. Just don't climb so high anymore, okay?"

"Okay, Daddy," she said, hugging my leg. She ran off to play, leaving me wondering when I'd tell her the truth: her mother had bailed on us three months after she was born. I hadn't even tried to keep track of her.

Maybe she was dead... but after leaving her daughter, she definitely wasn't in Heaven.
