Scared

My sons' question about death.

My son came to me with tear-filled eyes. Then he asked, "When will I die?"


Not forsure of what to say, I was taken aback by his strange way.


I grabbed him and held on tight, seems I hugged with all my might.


There were tears rolling down my cheeks, then I answered, "Not in a million weeks! I will never die, neither will you. This I know is very true! However in time, we will pass on. But in my heart, you will never be gone! This is where I hold precious memories of you. As you get older, you'll understand everything I've said is true!"
