As adults we want to look at a question from every angle and come up with every answer possible but children have a simpler faith and a simpler understanding.

It's only been 6 months and he's starting to really ask questions as he's realizing that he's not coming back. For a while I think he expected him to return at any moment. <BR/><BR/>His grandpa lived with him which makes it more painful for him. I will pass on the hugs and scoop more chocolate...Mimi Lenoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616635898420835541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25698471.post-89030248261157477042008-07-08T11:54:00.000-04:002008-07-08T11:54:00.000-04:00Star - God bless you too.Ahh...Princess Patti - I ...<B>Star</B> - God bless you too.<BR/><BR/><B>Ahh...Princess Patti</B> - I could have used your level-headedness and wisdom during the long 20 second wait.
