That is Where We Plant People
Posted 20th May 2009 by Mandy Nelson - Dandysound
My 4 yo has been learning about growing and life cycles in school. Today, as I was driving by the cemetary, she had this conversation with her 3 yo sister: "I just love this time of year when everything grows. Sis, see that? That is where we plant people and then grave stones grow with their names on it."
I almost drove off the road from the thrill of that observation. How then to respond to the younger who says, "Mummy, when I die will you plant me, too?"
Little brains working = good life.

My son has seen me to go my friend's grave site for many years now. He usually waits in the car with my husband while I visit the site for a few minutes. Ever since he was 4 years old, he has called it "Mom's special quiet place."
