Madison was beside herself to see this movie. I send both my kids to Catholic school, so we obviously believe in Heaven. This is an awesome movie. There is just so much to talk about after seeing it. It definitely is a movie that will make you think about eternity, faith, and courage. I can only recommend watching it!
I want to see this!
I was raised to believe that heaven is for real. My mum used to tuck me to bed every night with a prayer and I never shared those fears of the boogeyman in my closet because I always thought that my guardian angel will keep me safe. This one is a must-watch. One day, we’ll come face to face with our Maker and I think it would be the most beautiful moment I will ever have.
