I am sad to say that my brother, sister-in-law and nephew had to put their cat down tonight. My nephew does not understand where Buster has gone. And he was such a great cat. He was large and in charge and had a funny way of deciding he was ready for some attention. But it was definitely on his terms. How does one explain death to an almost 3-year-old? It makes me wonder when it is that children understand the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ? When does a child comprehend that they need a Savior? And how did the passing of a cat send me into this whirlwind of exploring the understanding of a child?
