Me: You know, Art, I wanted to tell you that Nora won't be at Nance and Brian's today.
Art: Why?
Me: Well, Nora died.
Art: What's 'died'?
Art: What's 'died'?
Me: Well, her body stopped working and she couldn't use it anymore. So we can't see Nora when we go to Nance's today.
Art: But I want to see her.
Me: So do I. So does everybody. [Pause.] A lot of people are very sad about it. I'm sad about it.
Art: [Pause.] But where did she go?
Me: That's a good question. They took her body away and doctors are going to look at it and try to figure out why she got so sick. Now if we want to see her or think about her we can look at pictures of her or see the people she loved and the things that she loved... She's kind of everywhere.
here's a link to Nora's Caring Bridge site.
