I'm so sorry you are going through this. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to explain this to a youngster like that.

And all of that on top of worrying about your mom. That, I understand all too well.

Cancer does, indeed, suck.

Thanks. :)

Gawd, that's awful. I know my 6-yr-old has recently been on a trend of asking "What happens when we die?" ---- and of course, we have to explain that EVERYone has a different opinion (my husband and I are Christian, but my boyfriend is not) and that we can't know... It's really hard. We've had to explain to her *several* times (and to her 3-yr-old brother) that my mom and my husband's dad are "in Heaven" (whatever THAT means!) and it's really difficult. I think, though, sometimes, that at some level they are more connected with the "TRUTH" (if such exists) than we are. Sometimes, I just step back (so to speak) and ask her what SHE thinks... and find myself comforted. Interesting ( ... )

Thank you for the kind words, and for understanding.

I know Maddie would LOVE an online buddy - but she's only juuuuust starting to spell and read. So it's too early for her.

Soon perhaps... she adores having little friends wherever! :)

Ah sweets. You do good.

I'm sorry you're going through all of this. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Just come hug me. I need extra. Whatever you can spare... oh, and spend some time with Maddie again - she ADORES you and it's so good for her to have an uncle sorta guy in her life.

Many hugs, with real ones to come soon.

Thankfully kids are resilient and yours sounds wicked smart. Can't wait to meet her (and all of you really.)

Sorry life is being so icky to you.

Life's not being TOO icky to us. We have tons to be genuinely happy about... but the kid stuff around death yeah... that sucks ass.

Thanks for the hugs and we look forward to welcoming you to our little circus! (wear funny hats!)

All hail beanied folk and fish-headed people who bring hugs to me, not to mention good cheer, whisky, a willingness to pub crawl and many good stories.

You are FUNny, Fishman (I dub thee Fishman)... And yes, we tremble mightily. Of course...
