Dad was reading H a book tonight called 'Old Elephant'... It is a story about an old elephant and a young mouse who are great friends. The elephant tells the young mouse about 'the valley of the elephants', a place that elephants go when they get old... a place they don't come back from.
H experienced death when she was 6 months old. We talk about her Nana often. We have told her that her Nana got very sick and died and now she is up in the clouds.
Whilst reading the story, to help H to understand better, he talked about how the 'valley of the elephants' is like 'going up to the clouds'... H replied with 'I don't want to die. Do you want to die Dad, do Mum or Baby O want to die?
Dad said, 'No one wants to die'.
Seems that we are having some deep conversations these days.
