Very touching indeed. The innocence of a child is hard to bear with their grief. I'm putting this in a kind way, maybe she found Laci for you to take up your heart, so that you won't be lonely anymore. I hope the two of you the best of luck, friendship, and peace in your lives. All three of you.



Thank you Wolf, I've read some of yours and , I don't come close to your style of writing, Excellent.

Laci and I are both taking new paths in our lives and I believe we will be taking that path together.



I will be by your side always:heart: :heart: where ever the path leads us:heart: :heart:

Tommy tis is the hardest thing one can do, but I have quoted from,

Crazy:
Theres a short story called "Waterbugs and Dragonflies" that helped me in a time of loss, and I think you may appreciate it to. I wish you much luck in your future.


That this could be worth giving a shot at; I went to the site and copied and pasted it here for you, I just sent it to my daughter for her 5yr. cause he is at the stage of wanting to know, and with his other grandparents being older now, he'll need answers, she said this was a fantastic way of explaining to her son.

I am so deeply moved by your poem Tommy, and for you believing in your friends love and support, I hope the above helps you in this matter...hugs to you and yours, your pal.... Noden

Waterbugs and Dragonflies
by Doris Stickney
.........................................

Waterbugs and Dragonflies : Explaining Death to Young Children"

Down below the surface of a quiet pond lived a little colony of water bugs. They were a happy colony, living far away from the sun. For many months they were very busy, scurrying over the soft mud on the bottom of the pond. They did notice that every once in awhile one of their colony seemed to lose interest in going about. Clinging to the stem of a pond lily it gradually moved out of sight and was seen no more.

"Look!" said one of the water bugs to another. "One of our colony is climbing up the lily stalk. Where do you think she is going?" Up, up, up it slowly went....Even as they watched, the water bug disappeared from sight. Its friends waited and waited but it didn't return...

"That's funny!" said one water bug to another. "Wasn't she happy here?" asked a second... "Where do you suppose she went?" wondered a third.

No one had an answer. They were greatly puzzled. Finally one of the water bugs, a leader in the colony, gathered its friends together. "I have an idea". The next one of us who climbs up the lily stalk must promise to come back and tell us where he or she went and why."

"We promise", they said solemnly.

One spring day, not long after, the very water bug who had suggested the plan found himself climbing up the lily stalk. Up, up, up, he went. Before he knew what was happening, he had broke through the surface of the water and fallen onto the broad, green lily pad above.

When he awoke, he looked about with surprise. He couldn't believe what he saw. A startling change had come to his old body. His movement revealed four silver wings and a long tail. Even as he struggled, he felt an impulse to move his wings...The warmth of the sun soon dried the moisture from the new body. He moved his
wings again and suddenly found himself up above the water. He had become a dragonfly!!

Swooping and dipping in great curves, he flew through the air. He felt exhilarated in the new atmosphere. By and by the new dragonfly lighted happily on a lily pad to rest. Then it was that he chanced to look below to the bottom of the pond. Why, he was right above his old friends, the water bugs! There they were scurrying around, just as he had been doing some time before.

The dragonfly remembered the promise: "The next one of us who climbs up the lily stalk will come back and tell where he or she went and why." Without thinking, the dragonfly darted down. Suddenly he hit the surface of the water and bounced away. Now that he was a dragonfly, he could no longer go into the water...

"I can't return!" he said in dismay. "At least, I tried. But I can't keep my promise. Even if I could go back, not one of the water bugs would know me in my new body. I guess I'll just have to wait until they become dragonflies too. Then they'll understand what has happened to me, and where I went."

And the dragonfly winged off happily into its wonderful new world of sun and air.......

:wink:
