"Okay, this is my family. Can you tell me who Roy is?"
Students:"FATHER!"
Me: (smiles)"Good." (draws a man's face and writes the word "SICK" under it) "This is my father."
Students:"He's sick?"
Me: (smiles a little sadly this time) "Not anymore now." (adds a 'halo' above the man's head)
Students:"Oh."
Student1:"So, there are only mother, sister, brother, and you?"
Me:"That's right."
Student2:"Does that mean your daddy's in heaven now?"
Me: (smiles while fighting back tears) "Let's pray for that, okay?"
Students:"Okay."
Me: "Can you guys do me a favour?" (watches the students nod) "When you see your fathers, give them a very big hug, okay?"
Students: "Okay."
