Bye-Bye

'The' talk

We received a call this morning that Brians uncle is probably going to pass away today. He is the oldest of the bunch. We were just there last month and he got to spend some time with him, him and Blaine.

I told Blaine that his uncle Donnie would probably be going to live with Jesus today which opened up a conversation about death naturally. He knows that his mamaw is with God but he never met her, so to actually know someone and then hear that they will no longer be here for them to see I think was a little confusing for him. He then said 'Mama, you will never die right?' (okay so I am totally tearing up right about now)I of course told him everyone dies sometime but we will all be together again in heaven. He then proceeds to say that Uncle Donnie will live in his heart with his mamaw and sissy ( I heart that boy ;-)) He asked me why people die. If that isn't a loaded question! I tried to keep it simple and just told him that people die because God needs them in heaven.

What a way to start my day. Remember, I have my family coming in from Tx tomorrow, ugh, it always seems to go this way in my life, December is not nor ever has been a good month for me!

Please pray for his family.
