We are all going to die some day.  I feel it’s important to discuss this with my kids every once in a while. I want them to know:

1. It’s okay to die; everyone will eventually.

2. It’s okay to be sad for a little while but not to stay sad. see page 12 in my book.

3.  If I could look down from Heaven, I would be happy to see them enjoying their lives.

I also write them notes.  Notes, full of positive messages, sealed and hidden in my house. So after I’m gone, and they find the notes, I hope it will bring a smile to their faces.
