How old is Jamie mummy?

me: Jamie would be almost one
Lucy: Just like Joe (our friend's son)
me: yes, he would have been like Joe
Lucy: will Jamie be having a birthday party
me: we'll be having a little party to remember him
lucy: is he excited about his birthday
me: well Jamie died didn't he
lucy: yes he did die - she thinks for a minute - that's going to make it really difficult for him to open all his birthday presents isn't it?


I'm crying and I'm smiling, what a beautiful conversation with my little girl about her brother. These little moments are so special and so unexpected - what a gift children are :-)
