When my daughter was 5 or 6 she suddenly had the revelation that things die (pet rabbit had just gone to bunny heaven) she walked into our room very late one night crying,
Oh sweetie whats the matter? she replied that she did not want me to die as she would miss me too much, i replied that i had no plans to go anywhere for a long time so she shouldnt worry, she then asked that when i did go could she come with me because she’d miss me too much followed by could she bring her new Minnie Mouse toy pushchair and her tiny tears doll…… with tears of laughter i told her that of course she could and tucked her back in bed……. they break your heart sometimes….. shes 20 now and i love her as much today as i did that night.
My son was always a cuddly child… every now and again he would just climb on my knee… put his pudgy hands around my neck and kiss me saying mummy i love you….. always brought tears to my eyes.
Hes 15 now and 6ft and still hugs me … just calls me shortarse :D
I know its hardly a funny one…. but walking into their rooms at night when they’re sleeping and just looking at them….. I still do it… funny how much you love em ( they drive me bonkers sometimes)
