There will be no regrets.
I’ve told her to put on her best clothes on account of the special occasion. Just four days ago mother died, now this; it’s an important week for the family. Trying to explain the nature of the event proved too confusing for her brother when his time came, so we didn’t bother much this time around. It’s not the processing capabilities of a five year old’s mind that I have little faith in—if anything, we keep finding our young to be fit to undergo the procedure at earlier and earlier ages—, but rather the biological condition that is to be emotional. Case in point, even if an attempt had been made to explain to her the milestone she’s about to go through, she could not stop crying long enough to hear it. She misses her grandmother so much, she says, yet it’s only been four days since her passing. How silly.
