"I love Miss Kitty" says the nephew. And he lovingly looks at her picture on my cell phone. Now Miss Kitty died before the nephew was born. So why does he say this? He only knows of Miss Kitty through me and what I have told him about her. But we have discussed how much I loved her and how sweet she was. So he has concluded that since I also love him (I have told him this on most every visit with him), and Miss Kitty loved me that she would love him too. He tells his Mom and Dad about Miss Kitty. He evens tells me and his uncle about things Miss Kitty would have done if she was with us at that moment. He knows Miss Kitty has died and is with God. But in his mind, she lives on. And for me, that means she is living in both of us.
