Pocahontas

It has been weeks and weeks since Emma has watched Pocahontas, but this morning she said, out of the blue, "Mom, Pocahontas doesn't have shoes. She have a necklace, but it broke. Her Daddy broke it. And he died. Someone kill him." She was so devastated that someone died, I think that is why she remembered that scene so clearly. Death is hard for her to process. Part of me wanted to throw my arms around her and tell her it was all made up, that people never actually die. I wish I could just keep her safe from things that are sad or hurtful.
