..I was told today that 3- and 4-year-olds are fascinated with the concept of death, which is why I was more amused than concerned when Rachel said this to me this morning after I told her I planned to swim today:
"Maybe if you don't die in the middle of when I'm grown up and I have my own children, we could swim together in the same lane!"
I was so startled that I could only manage to sputter, "Capital idea, Rachel!"
A dear friend of mine, Deni, who has two grandsons, told me when her daughter was little, she told Deni that she really liked one of Deni's sweaters and wanted to know if she could have it when her mom died. And I told Deni she made me smile for the first time today.
