Elena asked me, "Mommy, what's dead?" And I explained the concept again the best I could, which led to her to the next question (clearly illustrating that I didn't explain well), "Am I dead?"
"No honey, you're alive. Your heart is beating."
She woke up the next morning and the first thing she said was, "Mom, I know I'm alive because my heart is beeping."
She's been reminding us of this ever since.
Be still my beeping heart.
