Sad Suttie

Mom was so excited the last month or so before she left us.  Suttie was just starting to really talk, and he would even talk to her on the phone.  When we were home for Thanksgiving she talked about how much he was growing up. 

I love hearing him start to speak in real sentences and putting his thoughts together.

Today, on the way home from school he said, "Mama, I sad."  "Oh Suttie," I said, "why are you sad?"  Keegers piped up.  "Suttie are you sad cause you miss Gwandma. Cause I miss Gwandma so muchy too.

It breaks my heart every time.

I know I'M sad cause I miss Gwandma.  But I wonder how long Keegan will equate sadness with Grandma Cindy.  I wonder how long before he stops asking God to take care of Grandma in his prayers. 

I wonder how long before he stops missing her. 

He's only 3 1/2.  He's way too smart for his (our) own good... but he's so young. 

Suttie's response was, "NO!  I miss Paw Paw!"

Has he already forgotten her?

He's only 2.  He's way too smart for his (our) own good... but he's so young.

I'm only 34.  Somehow that seems pretty young too.  Way too young to be missing Gwandma.
