It reminds me of how I had to explain to my own son, Keaton, at age 4, why his older brother, Carson, had to die as a baby before Keaton was born. The questions are so painful to contend with and the answers are wrought with deep, deep sadness. Human beings, including young children, long for and crave relationships with their family and separation is never, ever easy. Keaton asked me "Why did I get to live and Carson did not?" I didn't know how to explain that. The fact is that there is no answer to that question. So I said "Well, God thought you were a very, very special little boy." Instantly, I felt the error of my words. And Keaton, at age 4, said "Didn't God think Carson was special?" What could I say? Death makes no sense to children and there is no way for adults to explain it. Julian has a wonderful grandmother in you, Lillie, who loves him. I am sending you and Julian and your whole family all my best wishes for peace and love when you feel sad thinking about Annie. xoxopinwheelgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240378191629677151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449889849623731442.post-3566068091306295082010-06-22T18:04:59.380-07:002010-06-22T18:04:59.380-07:00A hard but good weekend.
