Death is hard
on children too
My three (almost four)
year old granddaughter
was full of
questions
“Why did PawPaw have to die?”
“Whose cups are those, Paw Paw’s?”
“Are Rusty (the dog) and Paw Paw playing in heaven?”
“Is Paw Paw and Rusty with Grandma – Mommy’s Mom?”
“I think the next person who goes to heaven should take Roxie (the dog) with them so she can be with Rusty and Paw Paw.”
“That’s Paw Paw in the picture- can I take it home?”
Grandma was choking back tears all day
while answering the pure, honest, questions
straight from the heart of a child.
