"Mom? Is your heart broken because you miss Pearl?"
"Yeah, a little. Where did you learn about broken hearts?"
"In Star Wars: Episode Three, Padme's heart gets broken by Anakin. Heart breaking means you're sad."
"It does."
"Yours will un-break later, right?"
Sigh.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, Bob, "later" is sometimes farther away than a 4-year-old can comprehend, especially when the heartbreak is not about a cat.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. Bob is squeezable though...either way. Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteOh the beautiful things he says.
ReplyDeleteTell Bob that a broken heart lets more love in.
ReplyDeleteOH.
ReplyDeleteHe brings tears to my eyes.
Pinch.
ReplyDeleteGosh I hope there was a hug involved...that was just so thoughtful and dear...
ReplyDeleteOh, thinking of you all! Pearl sure was a beauty.
ReplyDeleteaww i love when children care
ReplyDeleteSweet boy. I wish the un-breaking of a heart were as quick as the breaking.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone can unbreak your heart, I'm sure it will be Bob.
ReplyDeleteunbreak my heart! it can happen, just ask toni braxton! right? sweet lisa and bob and pearl. missing is hard.
