Luke-Xavier was asking me about when I would die. I explained that we don’t know when anyone will die, but that we all, do in-fact, die. I told him it’s all part of the steps of our life-we’re born, we live and we die. He was concerned about being dead and never seeing anyone. I told him that we have a soul inside of us that lives forever and that if we are good, kind and loving that we get to live in Heaven and see all the people we miss and explained that God is in Heaven waiting for us.
He thought for a second then looked at me very seriously and said, “Then I will be naughty so I don’t go anywhere. I just want to keep living and stay here.”
I can see that this is going to take a little more explaining. Until he gets it…watch out!
Good night~

As Alexis said, once you tell him how wonderful Heaven will be with Angels and Saints he will get a different picture. You can include ,no sickness, no homework, no bedtime,no mean kids etc. !
I love the fact that he was really thinking about his options. Smart little man.
