Someone in our family is sick and hospitalized. When I told my daughters, ages 4 and 7, the first question my four-year-old, Naima, had was "Will he die?" which broke my heart, as she became intimately acquainted with death when her Daddy, my husband, died last year. So yesterday, we called our sick family member at the hospital so that the girls could speak to him. As they were signing off, Naima said very cheerily, "Goodbye! I love you! Don't die!" which was sort of morbidly funny.
