In A Bridge for Grandma a young girl has a near-death experience in a hospital emergency room. After leaving her body, she is met by her deceased Grandpa, and flies with him to heaven, but is told there that she cannot stay. Her Grandma loves to hear this story. Together they make a scrapbook, starting with photos of the girl with her Grandpa. They sing as they work together on the scrapbook, bake cookies, rake leaves, and garden. When Grandma gets sick, the girl finishes the scrapbook beside her bed. Grandma tells her she is dying, but she is not afraid because of the girl’s story. There is a sad goodbye and funeral. When the girl misses her Grandma, she looks at their scrapbook. The girl sees that Grandma now lives in her heart.
