Lifes Like That

Today was probably the worst day in my life.  Today I had to tell my daughter who is 9 and my son who is 7 that their grandmother passed away.  They cried so hard and it seriously broke my heart.  My daughter I expected to take this news badly but it was my son’s reaction that completely broke my heart.  I never expected him to feel and express the pain that he did and in all honesty, if I could have taken this pain from him I would have, in a heartbeat.  I have to say the comment that really touched me the most was when he asked me “why couldn’t the doctors bring her back to life”.  Kids just don’t understand and I know it will be a rough few days for them, but hopefully we will all get through this.
