(no subject)
Last night just after dinner, there was a weak little knock at the front door (which we never use). It was odd because the dog didn't bark and he normally freaks out at even just a person nonchalantly walking by.
I opened the door, and two little girls stood there...
the one closest to the door asks, "Is Emily home?" as they wanted her to come out and play. I didn't know how to answer that...and I didn't really want to tell them that she had passed away (how do you even explain that to a child?); so I just said, "No...umm...she isn't here anymore." They looked quite confused but I just said good-bye and closed the door.
