Though, my Princess recently attended a funeral, she still is fascinated {of course} with the casket and body of a dead loved one.
Right when we arrived at the mortuary for a special family viewing on Monday, she wanted to see our Aunt in the casket.
She said,
Why won’t she open her eyes, mommy?
I explained to her, again, what it means to die. Then I also explained to her that we will see our Aunt again in Heaven. She loves that. {Me too!}
She then said,
Can you tell me a story about her when she was real?
{Like she was now fake!}
