Our girlies

We told our girls tonight about Grammy. It was hard for me. It's in these moments that I realize afresh all that has happened....the surreal is actually reality.

Dave started out by just talking about Grammy. Selah said, "I yuve (love) Gammy....yea, she not give me cecktions (corrections). After Dave told them, Mckenna asked a lot of very simple questions, some over and over again, like "why did Grammy die?" I don't think it really hit them. In fact, I don't think it has all really hit me yet. I think it will sink in more for them when we go out to moms and she is not there.

When we put the girls to bed, Dave was holding Selah and had a little conversation with her:
D: "What did you love about Grammy?"
S: "Gammy kind...she give me pessents (presents)...cinrella (Cinderella). I yuve watch mooies (movies) wif Gammy..."
D: "Did she read you books?"
S: "Yea, I yuve weed books wif Gammy."

Very sweet, but oh so sad. Dave looked at me afterwards and said, "I want her to remember Grammy." How I hope she does...how I hope she will remember little Alivia too.
