My Little Magician
On the way to preschool this morning, Jacob and I had the following conversation:
J: Mommy, when I grow up, I'm going to be a magician and a doctor.
b: That sounds great!
J: That way, I can say the magic words and bring daddy back, and then I can fix him and make him all better!
b: (at a loss for words) Oh sweetie, that would be so great if you could do that, but it's not possible.
J: Yes it is. You'll see.
b: If there were magic words to bring daddy back, we would have said them already.
J: Hmmm. (long pause) Maybe I'll be a singer instead then.
b: Sounds good.

He's very sweet to think of such good ideas: )
If only...
My heart breaks just a little bit whenever I have similar situations with Jack.
But, like you, I believe in being 100% honest with him. Big hugs to you for being that way with Jacob even though it's hard.
(p.s. We are going to Phoenix in the morning to see Jack's 34yo half brother...have not seen him since Jack was a baby! We are so excited!!)
I am so sorry this isn't on the topic. I am ticked off becuase my DVR cut off the last 20 min of The Office, I was wondering if you watched tonight and could fill me in?
LOL! I didn't watch! Sorry :O)
oh, if only there were magic words...
