I WAS WALKING ALONG the beach at Ocean Place with Harrison collecting seashells the other day when out of the blue, he asked, "Your mother's dead, right?" I replied, "It's sad, but true. Yes, she's gone to heaven and I miss her very much." He continued along these lines," And your father's dead too, right?," to which I replied that he was in heaven with my mother and I had wonderful memories of both of them. We walked a little farther, collecting shells in silence.
He then asked, "They were my great grandmother and grandfather, right?" I told him that was correct.
"Well," he said, "They are not really dead, you know." When I asked him how he figured that, he replied, "Because we're alive and we have their DNA."
What a beautiful notion!
We got some beautiful shells that day too.
Paint on,
Depingo
