LIFE IN GENERAL

Treavor goes to an in-home daycare. He has the best time there and the teacher is the best. Her husband has Alzheimer's and has been there for the past 4 years that Treavor has gone there. On Monday i get a call that Dave is passing away and if i could come get Treavor. I rush out the door from work and let them know what is going on. I think i made it to the daycare in a record 10 min. When i got there there were 3 kids left to pick up. Treavor being one of them. I asked if there was something i could do to help and the family said we will be OK. So i took Treavor and he asked me questions about what was going on. I told him that Dave is no longer going to be around that he was very sick and he is in heaven with our dog Reba. Treavor knew he was sick because he helped Vicki out all the time with him. They would go to the store and Dave would be in his wheel chair and he would slide his feet off and Treavor would put them back on the wheel chair. Treavor and Dave were buds for the past 4 years. I told Treavor several times how sick he was but didn't quite let him know about the death thing. So Tim and i spent the day with him and took him to lunch and then to walmart were he was able to get a toy. We made it a good day for him. The next day Vickie was open for daycare. Like she says she has had 6 months to morn his death and the kids are what make it easy for her. So the next day Treavor went with Flowers in hand and made sure to make Vickie smile. Dave will be missed. I am so proud of Treavor because i asked him how his day was the next day and he said good. Vickie was good and i made her smile.
