Doing the dishes and the lil kid asks me this question;
Charlie: Henry do people die?
It made me pause for a moment. But I continued and answered him because I wanted to see his reaction.
Henry: Yes Charlie, people do die. Old people die.
Charlie: Oh I don't wanna die..
Henry: That's okay, you're still young. That's why I tell you to go shopping with mum and dad. You should spend more time with them (because you know.. I don't really..).
I don't think he got the idea that my parents were getting old.
Charlie: What will happen to the children if old people die? Will our family stay the say?
I wasn't too sure what he was asking.
Henry: What do you mean?
Charlie: Will we be the same family me, you, sis, dad and mum if we are reborn?
I nearly said no but paused to correct myself and said yes instead.
That was beautiful Henry, thanks for writing up this post.
