burnt toast

It will be awhile before there will be a new post...my computer is toast:o(

a conversation with Maddie....

So...Maddie came for a sleepover on the weekend (as you know from my previous blog).  It was her first time coming to our house since Jake had passed.  Jenn and Jason had let Maddie know that Jake had died and he went to doggie heaven.  The following is a conversation Maddie had with me...

As I was sitting at the computer doing some photo editing Maddie came in to see what I was doing and she noticed a picture I have of Jake sitting on my desk.

Maddie, "Auntie, is that a picture of Jake"?

Me: "yep, it's a picture of Jake".

Maddie: "Why did Jake die"?

Me:  "Well, he had a bad heart".

Maddie:  "My Mom says he grew wings and went to doggie heaven.  Do you miss him"?

Me:  "Yes I miss Jake.  I miss him a lot".

Maddie:  "Well, I have two dogs.  You can have one.  You can have Bosco cuz he doesn't bite.  Then you won't be sad".

Me:  "Won't you miss Bosco"?

Maddie:  "Nope.  Because I can come and visit him".




Children really do understand more that what we give them credit for....

sleepover time.................

It's never a dull moment when these two are together.
