Both kids and I went with family members to visit a much-loved person who is gradually saying goodbye and preparing to go Home. I still can't wrap my head around it, even though their health has been fragile for many many years.
I just told the kids we were visiting, I didn't go into details. How much can you tell a 9 year-old and a 7 year-old who is bad with abstract concepts?
I'm still not ready to say a final goodbye, but I am glad we came to tell them they were in our thoughts, with all our love. I am glad my kids got to see this person one more time. I hope they have good memories of them.
As usual, the kids were a bright spot for me. I think it's important for them to be included with important family events, and I loved being able to be close to them and hug them tight for most of the day. It made me feel a little better.

| James took this picture; I think he likes the ramp. |

| Spring is on the way. |

| Not surprisingly, the fountain was fascinating. |

| James loved splashing ... |
 |
| And getting clooooose ... |

| Voila. The kid who hates to get his head wet soaked his bangs. Go figure. |
