As I posted yesterday, my granddaughters’ dog Sparky died. The youngest, a sixteen year old, understood and of course is sad. Daughter and son-in-law wondered how to explain it to the special needs granddaughter.
With special needs you wonder how, and if they will understand and what their reaction will be. The only way was simply to tell her that Sparky was old and that he died. Her response was amazing. She simply asked, "Is he happy?"
No preacher I’ve ever heard or read could sum life up as well as that.
My daughter assured her that Sparky is happy.
