Deep Thoughts by Ruby Albina

A recap of a conversation during our car ride today. It totally threw me for a loop, as I wasn't expecting the life/death/heaven topics to come up for awhile. I tried my best to provide simple answers that she could understand, but still wasn't sure what to say.

Ruby: Mom, I want to meet Mom-Mom Albina.
Me: I'm sorry, Rubina, but you can't meet Mom-Mom Albina. She's not alive anymore.
Ruby: She's not alive? What does that mean?
Me: It means that she died and doesn't live here anymore.
Ruby: Where does she live now?
Me: She lives in heaven but we can't visit her there. We can't go to heaven right now.
Ruby: I just want to give her a hug and kiss. Her name is Albina and she is Gigi's mommy.
Me: Yes she is Gigi's mommy and she was a very special lady. That's why we named you Albina, because you are special too.
Ruby: I AM special!

...and because I know everyone likes pictures, some random camera pictures of my special girl

Oh Ruby
You are SO special and I am so glad your name is Ruby Albina after my mother.
She would have been crazy about you.
I love and miss you so much.
Take good care of your Mommy.
Love, Hugs and Kisses,
Gigi
