My son spent a few days with parents while on Spring Break.  They took him by the cemetary where my grandparents are buried.  After looking around a while, he noticed a couple of new graves where the dirt was piled up.  He said, "Look Papaw!  A few of them have already busted out of the graves and gone on to heaven to be with Jesus!"
