I put the stuff into the car and started it back up. Max started whining a little bit. I thought he decided he wanted to get out of the car, but every time I asked, he said no. He stuck out his lip, and got a really sad voice.
He said, "Sissy's spot."
I said, "Do you want to go out there."
"No."
"Well what do you want Max?"
As he looked out the window towards Ellie's spot, he said, "Be back together" in a little tiny sad voice...
It broke my heart into a million more pieces. Maybe he really does understand more than we think... I patted his leg, put the car in gear and said, "Me too buddy. Me too..."

I'm so sorry, Tiffany. I wish you were all back together too.
That brought tears to my eyes. He is missing his sister, in his own mind and heart. It is amazing how much little kids understand that we think they don't. I will be praying for Max. What an awesome big brother.
Oh poor little Max. Hugs momma.
{{{{Hugs}}}} I wish we were all back together. It always hurts to know that our children understand more than we think.

That's so sad. It's hard to understand exactly what children understand but I'm sure he understands far more than we think. I've always believed that the innocence of children make them much more open to things that we dont notice. I'm sure he has a huge sense of Ellie's missing piece in your family. You have done such a great job keeping her legacy alive so I'm sure that Max thinks of her all the time.

That is so sweet and sad. Natalie says stuff all the time about Adam. The other day she told me she wanted to go to heaven to see him. I often wonder how much she understands versus just talking from what she hears us say. It's so sad. Big hugs to sweet Max.
:/ Wow. I have no idea what that sounds like, but I can imagine the pain is ripping.
I'm sure Max understands and relates more than he carries on. And to be a boy with autism who already has difficulty with expressing his emotions... to voice that is so magical, yet so heartbreaking. I'm so sorry.
We all truly wish you were back together again as well.
Oh Max I wish you guys were back together as well.
I'm sure he does understand and miss his sissy.....I'm thinking of you guys always...xoxo
Our Children. They grieve too, we often think they are too young to understand but as your max showed a glimpse into his mind he does know what happened. Maybe in ways we can't understand but he is aware that Ellie was here and now is gone. My nieces only met TanaLee for the first time the day before she died due to hospital rules. Both of them (6 & 4 at the time) had a huge grieving period were they constantly asked why they couldn't spend more time with her, why did she have to fall asleep to die. We think they don't really get what was happening but really I think they knew everything. You could see it in their eyes as they stepped into the room for the first time.
