This incident happened during the last CNY. Although I have written it down quite awhile ago, I did not get a chance to blog it. Oops, sorry for the silence...
Daddy was explaining to a relative on Ah Ma's condition while Elyse was playing with Mummy nearby.
Elyse: Mummy, why the medicine doesn't make Ah Ma better?
Mummy was shocked. Apparently the little girl has heard Daddy's conversation with the relative.
Pause for a few seconds. Thinking of how to explain to a 3-year-old.
Mummy: Because Ah Ma's body is not taking in the medicine. The body does not receive all the nutrient it needed.
Elyse: Then Ah Ma is going to die lor.
Mummy was shocked again.
Mummy: Then Ah Ma can go and see Jesus lor. You see, Ah Ma is so sick now. So painful. Isn't it better for Ah Ma to go to heaven and meet Jesus then to suffer like this?
Elyse nodded in agreement. That ended our conversation and she continued to play her toys. Mummy was relieved.
All these while we have been thinking how to explain to Elyse on Ah Ma's condition. And now Elyse is able to come to such conclusion. We certainly hope this would mentally prepare our little girl to face unforeseen circumstances.
