I meet so many amazing kids on Heaventrain. Some of them just stand out and you really fall in love with them. Nyja, loves Saturday when the bus comes to her neighborhood. Grandma can be given the credit for creating this love. Attending Heaventrain is a family affair. Grandma Church has been coming to Heaventrain for 30 years. In the early years she came with her son. Today she faithfully bring her two grandbabies.
Nyja wakes everybody up early on Saturday so they won't miss the Heaventrain, she tries to eat her breakfast but grandma says it just isn't worth the effort to try to get her to eat, and quickly adds even when it's a crisp piece of bacon. She is just too excited to do anything but get to the bus stop. Nyja rushes everybody out the door and runs toward the bus. Grandma walks with a cane and she tries her best to keep up, but Nyja is clear across the field by the time she comes around the corner.
Nyja greets all the Heaventrain staff with a smile and a hug. "Oh goodness, that bus makes her a different kid." Her grandma says, "when she leaves the bus she tells me about the songs, asks questions, and asks how many days till the bus comes back. She talks all day long and tells everyone she sees about Heaventrain. She would be happy if she could just live on the bus with you guys." Grandma laughs and winks, "She sometimes drives me crazy and I have you to thank for it!"
