My lovely Dad passed away, suddenly, in October.
Apart from when we were away on holiday, we saw him every day and my 5year old DS is missing him terribly.
He said that Xmas was going to be rubbish without his Papa there so I suggested we save his seat the table and light a candle at his place. DS then decided he'd build a Papa and, true to his word, he did, and 'he' had a place at the table on Xmas day. Heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal measures!
Now DS won't let me throw 'Papa' out. He's pretty big and is still sitting at our dining room table (getting in the way) and DS won't hear of him being recycled.
Does anyone have any wise words on how I should approach this?
