Oh, J. I know how your heart catches in your chest when your little ones know more than you knew. And how we wish they didn’t have to.

2 years ago, when E was 3, one of her classmate’s moms was killed by their dad, who killed himself as well. The classmate’s twin was in another class, and their mom was an aide at the school. So it was a very real void felt by all the little ones, and it was some difficult conversations for months to come. E would say things like, “H got her hair cut today, but her mommy won’t see it cause she’s dead in heaven.”

It’s so hard when they have to face harsh realities, but such a gift you’re giving by creating that haven for safe discussion and peace.

My husband and I are always saying that we want our home to be a sanctuary from the world. It sounds like you and your family have done the same. Your kiddos are lucky to have such a sweet mama!!

Brenna mentions kidnappers often. It came up the other night and I thought to myself how sad that my little girl has to be aware that there are people in the world who could hurt her.…..on purpose. We explain to her about staying close to mom and dad and just know that God has her in the palm of His hand.

Wow. I’m with you I can’t comprehend the things some parents, people do. Try and think about that with a six year old mind. Nice job using other peoples bad choices as a learning experience for your own kids.
