Where Daddy Go?
Yesterday as I opened up the door to Mikey’s classroom at daycare I see Mikey running towards me asking “Where Daddy Go?” In this whine. Almost as if daddy was right there and now he’s gone. I told him that he knew where daddy was, that he was in the sky with the stars and the moon. And he said “NO!” because he full on knew that what I was telling him was a lie. Then he proceeded with the whine again “Where Daddy Go Mommy? Where Daddy Go?” All I could answer was with a “Please don’t ask me this”. That’s all I could think of. How am I supposed to explain to a 2 year old that his daddy is gone for good and isn’t coming back. He has no idea what death is at this age, but he does realize that his daddy is gone and hearing him whine asking for his daddy just breaks my heart.

Last year I told Gary that I'd raise $1k at the 2010 walk, please help me reach my goal. This year Gary is one of the Honored Heroes for the walk so its even extra special to me. :) Just click on the Sponsor Me image to be taken to my fundraising page. Thank you!!!
Help me get to my 1st Half Marathon in Walt Disney World where I will run in memory of Gary :)
My heart breaks for you and Mikey. I can’t even grasp what it is you are going through. I do hope time heals. All you can do is tell him that he’s above with the big man (if you believe) watching and caring for the two of you from above. ::hugs::
i think of you guys daily – im so sorry you guys have to go through this.
He breaks my heart.
I love you guys!
This breaks my heart.
Sammy,
He probably can’t understand right now, but if you begin to talk to him about heaven and God, he will understand… especially as he moves from 2 to 3 years old. You’d be surprised at the capacity of these lil ones. Give it a try… it may work. Love you.
