In the Sky with Diamonds

Caleb is a slender bean of a three year old, with the sweet warmth of his mom and his Aunty Lisa. He's helpful and considerate, he's curious, he asks lots of questions. Last week Lisa and Ali (Lisa's sister, Caleb's mom) said goodbye to their grandma, who passed on Wednesday. Before she passed Ali was concerned she had not yet talked with Caleb about death, and she was gathering into her consciousness ways she could talk with Caleb about Nana when the time came.

Enter Earth Hour. See post below for details on last night's worldwide movement to turn out the lights between 8 and 9pm local time. Lisa and Ali and Caleb lit candles and watched the stars. It was a beautiful clear night and the darkness was calming. Then they started talking about Nana.

ALI: You know, Nana's up there in the stars.

CALEB: She is?

ALI: Yeah.

LISA: What do you think she's saying to us?

CALEB: .... HELP!
