Z - What a complete turn around you have made with your homework this year. And whats more you are loving all these 'old fashioned' books Mama pulls out. This time it was an Atlas which delighted you as you studied Samoa.
P - oh how you loved every moment of your Mama n Me weekend in Wellington, soaking up every magical moment of having your Mama all to yourself. I loved the comical descriptive faces you pulled at the WETA studio/museum and how 'brave' you were on the aeroplane. You really are a seasoned traveller!
Z&P - my beautiful children . . . I didn't honestly know how you would be with the funeral, but I was so very proud of you both. P you held my hand throughout and even passed me tissues you'd brought along in your bag. Z you continued with your 'factual' questions wanting to know where when why and now what. I'm so glad we did this our way and guided you honestly through the process I feel you both have so much more of an understanding than I did at your ages.

Nothing like positive approaches and special times :)
I am so glad you let your children attend the funeral. My grandpa died when I was nine and to this day I am sad that I never got to say goodbye. I loved him more than any man in my life and his death cut a hole in my heart. My mom was going to let me go but my aunt overruled and my mom was not strong enough to stand her ground. Not going just made me fear death because it was obvious to my 9 year old self that it must be something terrible if I was not allowed to go to say goodbye.
