a few words on death and dying

Jonah has been talking a lot about death and reincarnation lately — not that he knows the latter word but the idea is pretty strong for him. Of course his whole take on the issue is kind of adorable…

Our conversation on the way home from preschool went something like this:

Jonah: What happens when people and animals die?
Me: What do you think happens?
J: They come back to life.
Me: Really?
Jonah: Yes! So, we might see Molly the cat again.
Me: And our friend Leila?
Jonah: It could happen. Dalton told Sarah that he died and came back to life.
Me: Oh. I don’t think we are going to see Leila or Molly again.
Jonah: You never know!
