Again, but for the first time

I showed Jonah a photo of Sarah today.  He saw it on my computer and asked, "Who is that baby?"

I replied with my own question, "Who do you think it is?"

And he said, "Baby Sarah!"

He was a bit concerned. He was worried that she wasn't moving.  So I explained that it was a photo. He paused, thought about it. And then asked if she was okay.

I explained again that she was dead. But he repeated again, "Is she okay?"

"Yes, she is okay. She is with God."

"Okay. But why did she chose to die?"

Sigh.  I love him so much. And his questions are so hard and relentless.

"She didn't chose to die.  She was very sick.  And just like you don't chose to get sick, she didn't either."

Lather, rinse, repeat.
