They weren't the only things crying. Castiel watched as his father placed a single white rose on a casket, a single tear running down his face. He watched as the men buried his mother. He watched as his two older brothers, Michael and Gabriel, wept with his father. Cas didn't know what was happening. He was five years old. He only understood what was told to him.
"Mommy went away, Castiel," Michael, who was the oldest at 13, said, his voice small and broken, "for good. She isn't coming back. But we'll see her one day, up in heaven." Cas didn't know what exactly heaven was. It sounded glorious from what Mike told him.
"Why can't we visit heaven?" Castiel asked innocently. Michael closed his eyes and quietly whispered "the only way to visit mom in heaven is to leave us here on earth."
