The heart of a child...

I wanted to share a little conversation I had with Ben, our 5 year old, from the other day...  I love his tender heart... 

--

Ben: "we shouldn't talk about Faith"

me: why not?

Ben: because it makes me feel sad

me: it's ok to feel sad... having someone you love die is a sad thing.

Ben: I didn't hold her, but I did give her a kiss...

me: yes, you gave her a bunch of kisses and she loved them

Ben: how do you know?

me: (kissing Ben's cheek) did you know I just kissed you?

Ben: yes (kissing me back) did you know I just kissed you, too?

me: yes, and I loved it - just like I know Faith did

Ben: I gave Faith a bunch of kissies - they were my present to her
