Memorial Day

Tomorrow (Saturday) morning is the memorial for Lash's friend Kailee and her family. He wants to go and I'll be taking him. I wish I could read his mind, know what he's thinking and feeling. Every now and then he gets this really withdrawn expression on his face and quiets up. I asked him tonight if he wanted to talk with me about Kailee and he said he would, but he hasn't finished thinking about it yet. He hasn't finished thinking about it yet. He's seven years old and I don't think I could have expressed myself that way in the same situation at thirty.
