Death...

2 of my remaining 3 grandparents have died within the past 2 months, Jason's grandma died 6 months ago and a good family friend died about a month ago.....that's a lot for a 4 year old (who is fascinated by death anyway) to deal with. Last week, the day of my grandfather's wake, I overheard Julian explaining death to Carson.

Julian: "Carse...mommy and daddy aren't going to be home tonight, Papa Mike is going to watch us. Mommy and daddy are going to a wakeful for Grandpa Bill. He was a very nice man and he loved you very much but you won't get to know him anymore, because he's dead now. That means he isn't here anymore and we can't see him again and his body is in the ground. Does that make sense?"

Carson: "No, no, Elmo...mine...mine"
