Today my four year old asked if we could find a skeleton for her to touch. She said she wanted to feel the bones, and know what they feel like inside her.
After that conversation, she asked me another interesting question... she asked Mom, who's that Guy with Jesus - the big guy... I said "God" and she said yes. She said can we talk to him? I told her that we could certainly ask him questions, and hopefully he could give us the answers. She then proceeded to ask me what happens when we die, and that she'd like to ask him. She is curious if when we die, he brings us back in another person who is born. She wondered what happens to our bodies when we die... and I explained the options of burial or cremation. She asked which I would choose. I said I hadn't decided yet. She said she definitely did not want to be "fired."
My daughter doesn't want to get old. She doesn't want mommy to get old, or her daddy or sister. She doesn't ever want any of us to die.
