Hearing his dad’s music on the ipod seemed to open up the topic of death for Avery. Here a few of Avery’s thoughts on the subject:
• “I have a hard time when you aren’t with me. When I stayed at Jaren’s house, I was so scared that you would die and I would come home and we would have to bury you.”
• “Who would take care of me if you died?”
• “Xxxxxxx says he’s glad my dad died.” (I can’t believe how a couple of kids have said this to Avery–makes my blood boil.)
• “I miss daddy. Good thing a new dad moved in our house.”
