UTTERLY AMAZED at comment made by my not yet 4-year-old son

| For DS's bedtime routine, we usually read a book and cuddle and then I give him a hug. Last night I specifically asked for a hug, rather than just giving him a hug, and DS turns to me and says -- "I know you miss your Mom. I miss her too". It took EVERYTHING for me not to burst into tears. My Mom passed away 6 months ago and her birthday is coming up. Is that as amazing of a comment as I think it is from a little boy that will be 4 at the end of September? |

| Pretty amazing. Sorry for your loss. Kids are wonderful and they absorb and know so much more than we think. What a great little guy. I'd have cried too! |

I'm not a religous person, but sometimes I think God communicates to us through our children.
Hugs! |

| And don't forget, he learned to be empathetic and sweet most likely from you. And you likely learned it from your mom. What a wonderful family trait! |

| OMG what a sweet boy you have. You should be so proud. I think your mom was talking through him. Kids have a sense like that I think . |

| This is OP. Thank you for the nice responses. I miss my Mom tremendously. Sometimes at the end of a long day I ask DH for a hug - even if it's busy or we're getting dinner ready I say "Can I have a hug?" I bet one of those nights I said out loud that I missed my Mom. DS picks up on so much. He is the most amazing little boy in the entire world (to me). |

| This is OP again. It didn't cross my mind until some of the PPs mentioned it, but what a wonderful thought that maybe my Mom was reaching out through DS? Thanks again PPs! |

| I'm not super religious but do believe that those who passed away are with us. People have always commented how kids are more apt to "connect" with those who passed away because they are't baised or cynical (or something). I bet your mom is with you and your little boy more than you can imagine... hugs to you. |
