This was a difficult week for mama. A very dear friend died suddenly at work on Wednesday. This person was also a "buddy" of Kaitlyn's. When she was about 2 yrs old, she met him at my work. She misunderstood when I told her that he was grouchy and ever since he has been known as "Ouchy". He loved when she called him this. He wasn't real big on kids - except for Kaitlyn.
On Wednesday, Kaitlyn came home and looked at me and asked, "Mama, why do you have tearins in your eyes?" I told her, "Because Ouchy went to heaven today." I thought she would be very upset, but she just got all excited and said, "Mama....Ouchy is probably playing with Gizmo!" I instantly felt much better.
The next day I told several people at work the story of Kaitlyn's view on Ouchy's death. Each of them felt better because of her perspective.
Sweet Pea.....you may only be 5 years old, but you have helped a whole lot of people get through a very difficult time. Thank you so much!!
