The last few days have been really busy. Levi has gone back to school happily and is now relaxed that he hasn't missed too much by missing the first week. The creek is creeping downward but definitely creeping! We are at about 0.35m, dropping only five centimetres since two days ago. I think the ground is sodden and any rain is now runoff, swelling the creek. Today was the first mostly dry, mostly sunny day for a very long time. It was also my early day, the day to get Levi from school. He was in a 'Go Slow' mode and wanted to walk among the graves and read them before getting in the car to go home. He tidied a few up and picked up fallen vases and plastic flowers. So these were his questions;
"Mum, Why are so many people called RIP?"
I tried not to laugh at that one, because he was being very serious and he hates it if you laugh at him when he is being serious, he gets very cranky.
He also asked;
"Where are we going to put our bones?"
Actually, I don't really know and I told him that. I said that I thought that we wouldn't put our bones anywhere but that I thought that we would burn up the bones until there wasn't much left. I asked what he wanted and he said;
"It doesn't really matter, because the bones aren't the bit that is really important," but he followed it up to remind me that he still wanted a place that he could go to that he could 'remember' Frankie. I had forgotten that I had promised him that and I should really make that promise come true at some point. I do like the idea of having a spot that you are driven to remember someone, and time to do just that!
Then I came home and because he was tired, he watched Scooby Doo and because it wasn't raining, I went outside and started the long task of yard work.
