Empathy

On the afternoon we learned of Steve's death, my sweet, loving 4 year old followed my distraught husband from room to room trying to console him with these words:

"I wish there was anything I could do for you. I wish I could bring you the moon. I wish I could bring the sun for you or bring all the sharks in the world and let you touch them. I wish I could make anything you want. I wish I could make you an expert at anything you would like or make you a doctor. I wish there was just anything I could do for you daddy. I love you daddy."

I'm so sorry. What else do yo say? But what are more comforting than the sweet words of a child. Lots of love. Cami
