We told the twins
We told the twins last night. They cried
really hard. As expected. We talked about heaven, and how some toys
when broken can't be fixed and that Cammy's body was broken and it
couldn't be fixed. The doctors tried really, really hard but it just
couldn't be fixed. That made it his turn to go to heaven. We all get a
turn to go, we just have to wait for our own turn. God gets to decide
when that is. Cammy is really happy
there because he doesn't have to take anymore yucky medicine, or tubies
or have to go to the sick blood hospital anymore. He gets to grow his
hair back too. He got a brand new perfect body in heaven & he can
run & play with his Great Grandparents & Grandpa Bill and
Morgan(our dog) Laney & freckles(Our kitties). He can give Jesus a
big hug for us and watch over us too. Cameron can jump in the best
puddles & fly kites all day. In the big picture, it won't be long
and it will be our turn too & we can all be together again. I think
that was just about the most simple way to get the point across. They
seemed to understand. We talked about
the funeral. The funeral is the place where people say goodbye to
Cameron & talk about how loved he is. There would be lots of people
talking about Cammy, telling happy stories and it's ok to cry & ask
questions any time. People cry at funerals because they miss Cammy too.
There would be a bunch of pictures of Cameron there too. There will be
white box with flowers on it, Cameron's spirit is in heaven but his
earthly body, that he doesn't need anymore, will be put away in a
special place to rest. That is what they know. We have some kids books
on explaining it, but they didn't seem interested. For four years old,
I really think they really understood. That was the hardest
conversation we have ever had. My therapy session went pretty well
yesterday, now I am going back to bed to cry. Maybe tomorrow will be
easier, hopefully I will get back to work next week. Start back to
living again. There are no words for how much this hurts. Thank you for
all of your prayers, love and support.
