Today when I picked Jayda up from pre-school, she was sitting in front of the square bales the Church had set up for their nativity scene over Christmas. She was all alone and had her head down. She saw me pull up and I got out, talked to her teacher briefly and she jumped in the car.
Me: Why were you sitting there all alone? (this is not common)
Jayda: "Because I'm sad."
Me: What happened? Why are you sad?
Jayda: Because I miss my old grandpa. (her great grandpa)
Awe. Tear.
I only had about 2 minutes to talk to her before dropping her off at day care. I asked if they were talking about grandparents, or what made her think of that.
"No, I'm just missing him today."
Bless her little heart and the angels amoung us.
We all miss him Jayda.
