Rest in Peace, Charlotte!

This morning started out pretty sad. Lucy's little friend passed on. She was a good inch worm and will be sorely missed. In her short life, she ate many a good leaf, went to the beach, and slept in a pretty awesome bed.
I was hoping to sneak Charlotte out, before Lucy found her, but no luck. Her tender little heart was so broken. I felt horrible for her and tried (unsuccessfully) to explain death to her. I told her that Charlotte was in a better place and that she would get to hang out in God's garden now. Unfortunately, this pretty much went over her head. She was bound and determined to go to Heaven and get her friend back.
Then out of the blue (at Target, no less) she announced to me (and everyone else in ear shot) that Charlotte was in a better place and that God could take care of her for awhile. She was very happy about the whole thing. My little girl has a heart of gold for everyone, including a tiny little inch worm.

Poor Charlotte. But good for Grace that she learned the Heaven lesson with Charlotte. We had the same talk with Madison when my dad dog died and she still talks about Suzy and how she lives in Heaven with God. So cute!
