WHY?

Two years yesterday from Jill died, my four kids and I went to the grave with some beautiful flowers and then went out for a meal together. We laughed and cried but the thing that I found strange was all the changes in those two years. Lisa and Debbie are both married, I have a new grandson called Charlie eight weeks old not to mention Ben and Maddie so much bigger.
After Charlie was born I had the amazing privilage of bringing Ben to school most mornings for six weeks. Listening to his potrayal of life each morning was so interesting, his key word at the moment being WHY?
You know even Jesus ask WHY? On the cross He said My God WHY have you forsaken me?
Life is a strange thing full of many WHY'S?

I know what you mean...we try to always do family dinners and take flowers to mum's grave, it's nearly three years now. Dad doesn't go to the grave and I think if he could reconcile the 'why?' He might give God an opening. I have been working on a poem about the big questions we ask as adults, kinda using/mentioning the idea of kids 'why?' questions, possibly inspired and impacted by alpha, will have to send u a copy!
