Well, today I took the kids to the cemetary. ALthough a footstone was ordered (Sat.) it wont be in for a few months. I explained to them that this was were Gram's body was even though she was in Heaven. Dragan had a zillion questions but didnt seem upset. We left 3 baby pumpkins sitting there,.. one for each of the kids. I wanted to take a mum but the place we stopped at on the way there didnt have any. Maybe next week. D asked me if when i went to Heaven I would write in the sky "Hi. Love, Mom" so he knows I got there. Then he asked how do you learn to fly, when do you get wings, where do you sleep and ever other senseless question you could imagine. He wanted to know who you talked to up there. Evidently I gave him good enough answers because he didnt ask for any clarification and eventually he quit asking them. We did tell a lot of funny stories the rest of the afternoon about Mom and things she liked to do or say. I think it really benefitted the kids that I was so open, since I usually avoid talking about it or change the subject altogether. Im gonna try harder to talk about it more.

I'm glad you are starting to talk about it with the kids more. I think it's really important and I'm sure it is helpful for everyone!
