robbie looked very sad, sportacus noticed and went over to him.
Robbie? Are you okay?
Uh uh..
Whats wrong?
My mom went to heaven. Glanni told me she died but i dont know what that means and then he told me mom went to heaven forever and now im sad because i wont be able to see mom for her birthday.
Im sorry robbie, is there anything i can do for you?
Bring my mom back from heaven.
Im sorry robbie, i cant do that.
But you said..
I know what i said, but robbie i cant make people come back from heaven, i meant i could clean your lair for you.
My brother glanni is doing that.
Well i could get you a drink?
No thanks i dont need one.
Okay, how about you play basketball with us.
I.. i dont know..
Come on it'll get your mind off things.
I..i..i dont know how to play…
I can teach you.
Oh.. okay i guess.
Sport teaches robbie how to play. Back in robbies lair, glanni cleaned up robbies lair, robbie has a sensory issue with washing dishes, their mom always came over to do his dishes because he cant stand the water on his hands or the textures of the plates when theyre wet, robbie also cant do his own washing because of the sensory issue, he is fine putton on and taking off his clothes but he has never been able to put them in the wash. So glanni does a bit of washing and cleaning for him, and he put up pictures of his mom on the walls to remind him that mom was watching over him. Glanni started tearing up when he out the pictures on the wall, it just hit him that his mom was never going to be around for his kids, or his wedding, he took a moment to just look at the pictures and then continued cleaning until his phone rang.
Hello?
Hey glanni its dad.
Hi dad.
Where are you? Are you at work?
No i just went to robbies to tell him the news and clean his lair.
Oh.. how did he take it?
Well… not very well.. He didnt know what dying meant so i tried to explain that mom went to heaven and well i guess he understood.. I dont know but at least hes doing his replacement behaviours, he got frustrated and insted of going into a meltdown he took his stressball and walked around his living room.
Oh thats good, hes learning.
Hey, do you remember mom making that box for robbie?
Yes, the one in case she died suddenly?
yeah , do you know where that is?
I think its under our bed, mom put something in it 30 minutes before she died.
Oh okay, you and me need to give that to robbie at the same time, he will appreciate all of us being there, and we can laugh at the funny thing mom put in there.
Okay it sounds like a plan son. Ill see you at the prison soon okay.
Alright dad.
Bye
Bye dad love you.
Love you too.
Glanni finished cleaning and went out to find robbie and make sure he was safe.
