Camden's first funeral

I have to share how impressed I have been today with Camden and his first funeral visitation. We've talked lots about death and Heaven, because that's where Grace is. So we decided to let him lead with what he was comfortable with at the viewing. He decided he wanted to see her. Afterwards he came and asked if I wanted to. I said no thanks. Does she look different? (Grace did). He said no. I reminded him it was just her body and her soul was in Heaven with Grace. He said he knew and that God gave her a new body. He did think it was odd she still had her glasses on. 

Afterwards we went to dinner and then headed to the hotel. As we were driving he asked me if it hurt to pull skin off. I though maybe be had a scab or something. I said little pieces of dead skin didn't hurt. I wasn't sure what he meant. So he changed the subject and we talked some about whether she would stay there tonight and tomorrow. I explained we would bury her tomorrow and of course then he wanted to know why we bury people. I told him i wasn't sure. I thought there were different reasons different people did it and I didn't know  for sure. and then he said he hoped it didn't hurt grandma. I was confused by now. I asked him if she had a sore on her. He said no. I was very confused. He asked if she still had her bones. Yes. Did she still have her blood? No. She must have a hole in her. What???? "I hope it didn't hurt when her soul left her body to go to Heaven". Oh! That's what all the tearing skin meant. I told him no.She didn't feel it.  What an amazing thought to have!! Then he asked if you need wings to get to Heaven. I told him I didn't think so. That I think Angels come and carry you to heaven and you get your wings when you get your new body. "That sounds cool!"

Such a smart, curious, sweet boy. Love him so much!
