Jack's Rope

A little girl, Hannah, from Jack's preschool died yesterday. I was trying to talk to him about her death because they were going to be praying and talking about it in chapel today. After we talked (and I cried continuously at just the thought of it all) about Jesus and heaven and not being able to see Hannah any more Jack said, "But I have my snake rope." I was very confused and asked what he was talking about. He said, "I have a snake rope, a Dora rope and a Diego rope. I'll pull BJ back and put him in Nikki's house (Nate's sister's dog who died a couple months ago), pull Eli's Daddy back and give him to Eli and pull Hannah down and put her back in school."


Sweet boy. I had the reddest, puffiest eyes by the time I got to work.

They really make tough situations better with their innocence, don't they?

I don't know Hannah's family, but I know many people that do, so I've been to the caringbridge page. Her mother has amazing strength! So sad for them.

How heartbreaking, to think of losing our little ones, and of Hannah's dear parents
