I have not told her any death details yet, I am currently focusing on what a great woman she was, how much she loved her, and telling wonderful and funny stories of the life we had for 11+ years before she was born.
How old is Lyric?
As for legacy, I'm going with the book route, my Dad published a book about my Nanny, and I am so happy he did...facinating story. |
That's devestating. I wish I could still believe life was like a frolick in the evening through a poppy field... or a picnic undisturbed my ants. But instead I have to grow up, get over myself and be an adult. Good job with handeling the situation. I hope I can do as well when Lyr starts asking. For now though, I've got a while to think on it. Lyr's only 20 months. I figure I've got a few years. But it's just kind of a struggle. Talking to Lyr about it is going to open a lot of wounds that by that time, I probably won't want opened.
