This morning while getting Mason ready for preschool, we had this conversation completely out of the blue.
Mason: Mom, I really really miss Grandma and Grandpa.
Me: I know honey, so do I.
Mason: When are they coming back? Soon?
Me: No honey, not soon.
Mason: But you said I will see them again.
Me: Yes, someday, but not for a very long time. They are watching over you, though, and they love you, but you won't get to see them for a long long time.
Mason: Oh. Well, I just miss them.
Me: I know, it's okay to miss them, but they wouldn't want you to be sad for too long.
These are the moments that break my heart. I can barely come to terms with them being gone, I don't even know how the kids can begin to understand it. I am glad they talk about it, especially in the random quiet moments. I sure love my family.
