Thing 2 broke my heart today..

So I was upstairs folding clothes and I hear my little Thing 2 crying. He was crying really, really hard. I guess more like sobbing, Yeah he was sobbing. I ran like crazy down the stairs, grabbed him. I asked "whats wrong?"
(This really surprised me.)
He said "something really, really bad has happened to grandma!!"
Oh, my gosh I freaked out!
I ran to my phone and called my husbands mom.
She answered the phone
I said "Are you OK?"
"Is there anything wrong with you?"
I bet she thought I was crazy. She was fine, nothing wrong. At least not right now. So I told her what was going on with my Thing 2 she talked to him and tried to calm him down. (he was really crying hard still)
So I sat with him and tried to figure out what was going on. (his big brown eyes just break your heart if they have tears in them)
I finally figured out it was my mom he was worried about. He really misses her and was crying about her dying.
My mom died when he was around 15 months old.
So, I comforted him and told him she was OK. She is in heaven and she still checks on him to make sure he is OK. He was still pretty upset so I thought maybe looking at photo albums might be a good idea. He sat and looked at a couple of pictures of her holding him, and he was smiling and feeling alot better.
Oh, that just broke my heart!!
I have been having a really hard time not having my mom around anymore. I didn't think it would affect my kids so much since the were so little when she died.
I guess I have been so worried about myself (about my own depression) I never thought about my kids.
One of the last things my mom asked of me was to make sure my kids never forget about her. She was really worried about that before she went into her surgery. I told her she didn't need to worry because she was going to make it out just fine. Well, I was wrong she didn't make it. I need to make sure my kids remember her the way she would have wanted. She would have never wanted to see my Thing 2 crying for her. She loved laughing and I think she would want him to remember all the good times. He loved that photo album we looked at. I think I will need to bring out the album more.
