My nephew and sis-in-law (Mark's sister) came to stay with us yesterday and I got to have many long, heart to heart conversations with my sis-in-law. Usually we only get to meet up on special occasions because she is based in Kuala Lumpur, but we do keep in touch regularly through the phone. She and I have always gotten along so well that we are more like friends and we often share problems problems with each other.
Today while we were on the way back from another New Year shopping trip, my 6 year old nephew suddenly asked came up with a barrage of questions that both my sis-in-law and I totally didn't expect. He asked us 'Why doesn't Auntie Shane have a baby yet?', 'Is there a baby in Auntie Shane's stomach?' and 'Where is Auntie Shane's baby?'. We have no idea what triggered these questions because he's never asked them before. I'm not sure if he knew what was happening when we lost Chloe because he could obviously see my baby bump, but I wonder if he knew there was a baby inside since he was only four-and-a-half years old then. When he asked where the baby was, was asking about Chloe?
Sigh... I really wish I had the answers to ALL his questions. Actually I'd like to know those answers myself.
