Adrianna has an active imagination. She enjoys pretending to be dogs and cats, among other things. Yesterday, she was being a cat. She told me, “I’m being a kitty. My name is Petey.”
Playing along, I said, “Hi, Petey. How are you?”
She replied, “I am going to have to die pretty soon. That is why I have to be with Jesus. Are you going to miss me?”
My sweet, sensitive girl.
aww that is precious…sad but precious
My first response was to laugh at her insight, but then to realize that this is (was) her first experience with death of someone close. A learning experience of life and death and the reality of Jesus and the hope He offers. Wow! Out of the mouth of babes…comes great wisdom.
