Time Marches On

Today was a sad day.  We buried Eric's grandpa, Vince, today.  He was 86 years young.  We will miss him dearly and his most famous words, "lil bit".  He was a kind man and one I enjoyed visiting with very much.  The girls did not attend the funeral because I feel that at their ages, 7 and 5, they are maybe still too young to fully comprehend what happens when someone dies.  We tried to explain to them that Great-Grandpa Oye is in Heaven.  Isabella wanted to know why we still saw his body then.  Hmmm, that's a tough one.  Anybody have a good explanation for her for that one??  I couldn't really come up with one so tried explaining to her that his soul is gone, but his body is still here so we can say our goodbyes to him until we see him again in Heaven.  So far that has worked for her because no more questions were asked.
