We went to visit Mema on Monday and after giving hugs hello, with no prompting by me, Odan walked right up to her and said,
O: "Mema, I'm so sorry that Grandpa died."
Totally serious and sincere.
This has been a hard week. All week the boys have had sad spells (like being at the park and wanting to go home after 20 minutes - totally out of the ordinary!), random tummy aches and even head aches. I have been surprised at the emotions they are experiencing. I have also been touched by the sincerity of their feelings and thoughts.
After visiting their aunt Angelle we were driving and King says,
K: "Mommy, my tummy hurts."
M: "Are you going to throw up? Are you sick?"
K: "No, I think it just hurts because Grandpa died."
Dealing with death and loss is so hard. I am so thankful we have so many loving, willing hearts out there to comfort and support us. Every call, text, hug, prayer, condolence and listening ear has been so appreciated. We love you ALL!
