So, at dinner MOG says, “I hope you die when I’m a lot older because I’ll be able to deal with it better.”

She scares me a little sometimes with how mature she can be about things. She’s so smart and has been through a lot already at age 8. Heart surgery, parents divorcing, grandparents dying, etc. She just seems to take it all in stride and keeps her head up. She’s amazing.

And, as for her request… that’s the plan, kiddo. That’s the plan.
