“Your heart is inside your body, baby. It isn’t far.”
“Yes, it is far. It’s very very far away. That’s why Heller is far away.”
“Heller is far away, to you, because you can’t see him. You can’t see him because he is in Heaven. But, he is also in your heart because you love him. We say, ‘he is in our hearts’ because our hearts feel our love, and we love him forever.”
Nicholas is insistent. “My heart is far far away. Very far. Further than the farthest far.”
I try again.
“When we love somebody, or something, we say that it is in our heart. It means, our heart holds a part of that thing forever and ever. You are in my heart, Jenny is in my heart, Daddy is in my heart. It means we love someone.”
Nicholas gets the final words. “Well, I love my stuffed animals, but they are not in my heart. They are at home, on my bed.”
I’ll try again tomorrow.
