Questions

It's been one week since "Opa" (Grandpa in German) passed away. The boys are still struggling to understand what exactly death means & what happened to Grandpa. We did let the boys view Grandpa. I think that's when it finally settled in with Paul. He's been really thinking hard about it. Asking questions about if "Grandpa had pushed Jesus out of his heart & that's why he died" and then "What happens when you push Jesus out of your heart?". They did wonderfully during the funeral - with the exception of having to go potty during the sermon (which is what they normally do every Sunday - when the sermon starts, we feel the need to go). They have asked every day if Grandpa is still dead & if Jesus still has him. Porter keeps asking if Jesus is going to wake him up. My inquisitive boys - I'm glad they're asking questions.

We're also battling upper respiratory infections. I'm home right now with Paul who spiked a fever of 102 at daycare today. I had to take Porter to the Dr last week the day of the visitation because he was running a temp & had a cough. So illness is running through the household again (including myself - sinus infection ugghh!)
