sometimes the kid is very grown up...
the kid: mommy, did your mommy die?
me: yes, honey. she did. a long time ago.
the kid: well, when was it?
me: it was in 1997. almost 14 years ago.
the kid: can you tell me how it happened?
me: yes. she was in a car accident and got some really bad owies.
the kid: oh. what made her die?
me: she had a really bad owie on her head, and the doctors couldn't make it better.
the kid: oh. that's sad.
me: yes. I miss her very much.
the kid: but we shouldn't be sad, mommy. 'cause Jesus came and took her to heaven. and that's cool.
me: yes. yes, it is.
the kid: I love you, mommy.
me: I love you, too. very VERY much.
