Rosie asked, "Is Grandma dead?"
Summer paused. She was considering how to explain to Rosie, but she didn't expect Rosie to say
something like this first.
"In the TV series, when we say that we're going to send someone off for the last time, it means the
person has passed away."
Rosie was a little disappointed, "Dad also said that he would take me to see Grandma tomorrow. I have
thought that I could really see her."
Rosie knew what death meant. Death meant that the person was no longer there and would be buried
in the earth.
Sending someone off for the last time was a euphemistic way for death, but Rosie did not understand
the emotions when a beloved died.
As for those abstruse matters, there was no need to hurry to tell Rosie right now. She would naturally
understand as she grew up.
Summer patted Rosie on her head, "Actually, Grandma died when Dad was a little boy. Although she is
no longer here, she will also like you very much."
"Dad didn't have his mother when he was a child?" Rosie was wide-eyed and asked curiously.
"Yes." Summer nodded, "So you have to be better to Dad. Dad actually has a hard time."
Rosie tilted her head and thought for a moment, but no one knew what she was thinking. After a while,
she replied, "Yes."
Just as Summer was about to speak, Rosie asked again, "Mom, will you leave me? Will you be gone
one day?"
Summer was silent for a moment before nodding solemnly, "Yes."
Rosie pouted, "No."
"Even if I have to leave one day, I still love you, Rosie." Summer lowered her head and looked into
Rosie's eyes.
To Summer, death was an inevitable occurrence, so there was no need to avoid it.
Rosie frowned again and said grievously, "But I want you to stay with me forever. I want to be with you
forever."
Rosie added, "And Dad."
Summer's heart softened and said gently, "Me too."
Aging, illness and death can separate people, and no one can stay with his beloveds forever.
But love can.
When Summer returned to the bedroom, Leonardo was sitting on the sofa with a notebook on his lap,
one hand typing on the keyboard while the other holding a mobile phone. He listened to the man on the
other end of the phone.
"I see. That's all." Leonardo turned to look at Summer who just came in and hung up.
Summer thought that he was asleep, so she walked over to look at his computer and asked, "What are
you doing?"
It was the data that she couldn't understand, so she just took a glance and didn't look at it anymore.
"The staff of the funeral home called to talk about some details." Leonardo typed again on the keyboard
and then turned off the computer.
"Yes." Summer answered as she got up and went to the bathroom.
When Summer came out, Leonardo was lying on the bed, with the quilt covering his body. He lay flat
on the bed and stared straight at the ceiling, as if he was thinking about something.
When Summer lay down beside him, Leonardo reached out and pulled her into his arms.
Summer was warmed up by the heat coming from Leonardo's body. She relaxed and her tone became
a little lazy, "Aren't you sleepy?"
Leonardo said softly, "Waiting for you."
"We can sleep now." Summer yawned and ordered him, "Turn off the light."
Leonardo stretched out his long arms and turned off the light. The room fell into darkness.
Summer closed her eyes.
When she was sleepy, she suddenly thought that Leonardo might lose sleep tonight. So she forced
herself to keep sober, "I can't sleep. Let's talk."
