Liam has really struggled with the concept of death ever since my dad died. On Father’s Day we went to visit my dad’s grave. I was really unsure as to whether or not we should take him because he was really effected by it when we went to visit his grave last fall. He seems to have done okay this time, but he has a lot of questions all of the sudden. Today he asked me why God makes everyone die. I need to take a parenting course in answering difficult questions. I told him that everyone dies so that we can go to heaven. I told him that heaven is a great place to be and even though it is hard for those of us that are here on Earth to lose the people that we love. The people we love that have died are happy in heaven and someday we will get to see them in heaven, too. I hope that was a good answer.
