Bedtime stories November 27, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : Current Affairs , trackbackAfter getting the girls to bed, I was trying to catch up with blogs.
Soleil came out. She told us she was upset about Alex… Alex is a boy in the special needs class. He died on Thanksgiving Day. I set aside the computer and held her and said all that I could to talk about death and life and not knowing how long we have, etc.
Eventually, we got her calm and in bed.
Damn, this parenting thing is hard… My heart goes out to Alex’s family. To lose a 6 year old must be hell.

These days my heart clenches up when I hear of 5- or 6-year-olds who die…
Wow, so sad. I’m sorry Soleil has to be faced with this at such a young age.
I have always swallowed hard when I read or heard about children dying. These days I often can’t stop from crying. The thought alone makes me tear up… I don’t look forward to the first time we have to explain death to the girls… You’re right, parenting is very hard.
