The Brother They Don't Know About

Seven years back my three year old son passed over. After that I had a son and a daughter. I  have never  told them about their elder brother.

Today, my four year old daughter after seeing his photos asked me "Who is he"? 

I said, " He is your elder brother".

Little confused, she said," Oh! my cousin brother". 

I said," No, he is your own elder brother". 

She asked again," Is he also Sam's brother? ( Sam is my other kid)

I said," Yes, he is".

She looked even more puzzled.

Probably she was trying to figure out and put all the pieces of the puzzle in place.

She didn't say a word and ran off to break this discovery to her brother, leaving me a bit disappointed. I wanted to tell her all about him.

It is good to know that my kids are growing up and learning to ask questions. Sooner or later they will learn  about him.

My baby is not with us any more but he will always be a part of our family
