We love you!
We recently lost my Grandpa Mills a couple months ago. It was wonderful going to his grave site and celebrating his 90th birthday together with my little family tonight. Emma couldn't stop talking about it once I mentioned it to her this afternoon what we were going to do. She kept saying, "Go see Grandpa Mills for his Birthday."We were there for a while and sang happy birthday to him and listened to her play the harmonica in his honor :) After a while she was getting ready to pick up the flowers and wanted to go SEE Grandpa Mills to really sing happy birthday to him. She would say, "go see Grandpa Mills in his bed."
Oh our sweet girl, bless her heart. We thought maybe she already was starting to understand that Grandpa Mills wasn't here anymore since the funeral. We've talked to her about life and death for quite some time now but tonight was a new experience. We then again talked to her about how his spirit lives in heaven and his body is under the ground. Told her he could see us but we can't see him right now while he's in heaven. It was again a sweet experience. I LOVE these teaching moments as her parents and her sweet innocence.
She was excited to bring Grandpa Mills his flowers for his birthday.
