Answer :

Let him listen to your heart beat. Make sure he can hear it and ask him to mimic the sound. Then do the same to him and explain how strong the heart is. Then give him a big safe hug and let him know that you know your heart will keep you alive till he is big and strong and you have lived a long full life. And let him check every so often just to make sure! I remember that day like yesterday! Enjoy!
