The Tough Questions

Today at lunch Savannah asked, "Now, who is Daddy's Mommy? I forgot."

Me: "Nana Linda. Remember, she went to live with Jesus before you were born."

Savannah: "Oh, I remember. She died?"

Me: "Yes."

Savannah: "Will I die?"

Me: "Someday."

Savannah: "Do just some people die or does everyone die?"

Me: "Everyone dies eventually."

Savannah: "Was she old when she died?"

Me: "She got sick and died." (She wasn't old)

Savannah: "So, if I get sick I will die."

Me: "Well, not like a runny nose sick. She was very sick." (I had to explain cancer)"...so we take care of ourselves, eat good foods, and take our supplements to prevent getting sick."

Savannah: "Nana didn't take care of herself?"

Me: "We just do the best we can and leave the rest to God."

Savannah: "I clean my room to keep me healthy!"

Me: "Yes you do. And you should do it everyday!"
