My son was 3 when Dale Earnhardt died. He asked what happened. I told him that Earnhardt was in a crash and died but that he was in heaven with Jesus. A few months later, our cat died. When I told my son that Lucky died, he said "he's in heaven with Jesus and Earnhardt". So everytime he hears that someone dies, he says that it's okay because they are in Heaven with Jesus, Earnhardt, Lucky and our other cat Gypsy!
