Things I didn't want to explain

In the past 2 days, I've had 2 conversations that I had hoped to not have to have for many years.
#1 was that parents don't always stay together. Since the move, we have made friends with another family that was new to the area. The kids are in the same class and they get along great. We started hanging out on a very regular basis on the weekends, and now they are going through some trouble. Long story short, they are probably going to move back, several states away, after school is over this year. We take turns with school drop off in the mornings so the other morning when I picked her daughter up, she decided she would tell all of us in the car that her mommy & daddy married the wrong people and do not like each other anymore. Someday they will get married to people that they love, but they do not like each other anymore and will no longer be together. She is going to get a new stepmommy and is very sad. Kristopher was confused. Last night we talked a little about this, and I have reassured him that it will not be happening to him and he has nothing to worry about. He seemed ok, but then had 2 night terror incidents last night.

Horrible talk #2 came today. We got a letter home in his folder from the principal. A little girl from his classroom, mother died today. Sudden death. They had a talk with the class, and the little girl actually finished off the rest of the day. Not sure exactly why but that was the decision that her and her 2 older sisters made when they were told. Either way, he was very touched and sad to tell me about his friend who no longer has a mommy. Because she is DEAD. He says she was sick. I'm currently battling some weird cold, and he asked me a few times if my cold is getting better yet. I said I feel fine but if I coughed, he looked at me weird. That lasted till about 5pm and then he was distracted and it didn't come up again.

It's not fair that my 6 year old has to worry about things like this. I know the death thing is out of our control, but the seperation thing should not even be on his mind. It's been over an hour since he went to bed so I'm hoping he has forgotten about the death worry.....
