again, kids are only 2 and 4. Do you lie to them about death?
Well i do!! It is my choice as a parent to pick and choose when my children need to be protected. Death, and mourning is something that i will not fess up to...until i absolutely have to, anyway
Grandma passed away this week (my grandma) kids never met her, very sad, pretty suprisingly.
i have to go, fly to michigan to pay my respects, and say goodbye to a woman i feel i barely knew, and saw a dozen times in my life.i kinda wish i could say that i am minimally affected by this, but it wouldnt be the truth.....it hit me yesterday, she was my last living grand parent. My parents are such a critical role in my kids life that i couldnt imagine THEIR lifes without them. Even the mother in-law is making a lasting impression on their little lives.
so i am leaving for a few days, kids at home with daddy (and mom-in-law) and i have told them that i am going to work, when actually i am going away to be sad and say goodbye to someone that they do not even know. man how i am going to miss them.
