love these kids

Monday we were driving to Gavin's soccer practice.  We were chatting about our day and I mentioned to Gavin that my friend passed away that day.  (My friend,Liz,  who was a pseudo Mom to me and many others....passed away from Cancer - check out her blog for details) 
Anyway, here's how the rest of the conversation went:
Gavin: OH -- I'm sorry Mom.  Now she's with Heavenly Father.

Me:  Yes and it's okay that she died, I know she's in a good place, a better place than here.

Gavin:  Yeah, but me and you are gonna live a long time here on the earth.

Me: Yes Gavin we will -- we'll be together for a long time here.

Gavin: Yeah, because Heavenly Father did a really good job of making this earth. It's not sloppy work like us kids do at school sometimes.


I just love kids...perspective is everything!

Oh that is so cute! Kids are so smart and they say the sweetest things! Are you going to the funeral? I wish I could go!

I love it. Kiddos do put things in perspective for us, don't they? Wish I was going to see you this weekend... We'll have to meet up another way.

As they say "out of the mouths of
babes". They are still so close to
the veil and say the sweetist
words and feel the spirit and want
to say something that will make us
feel better. Love you Gavin.
