Harry's best friend

Harry's beloved best friend, Bobby, died in hospital last night. He was five.
I went to collect Harry from school at lunchtime to tell him.

We talked about doctors and hospitals, trying to make people better and Heaven.
We decided we weren't too sure how long the journey to Heaven took.
But we thought the angels might help you along the way.
Harrt thought you should carry a favourite toy.

Harry told me Bobby will always be his best friend, but he just won't see him now for a really long time. He was glad that I didn't die when I was poorly in hospital.

Then we sang a happy song about Bobby being in Heaven :
"He's got the whole wide world in his hands...and Bobby too...."

We both loved Bobby - he was so full of life, dynamic, loving and kind.
My heart and my thoughts are with his mum, dad and sister.
