It was a sad week for them.
I know it's "just a bird" - ya know, in the category of a hamster or a guinea pig. I know it's not a beloved dog that they had for years and years. But they were sad. And I was sad for them.
I love how God used this small experience of loosing a pet to teach my girls the value of loving someone or something.
We will get another friend for Noel who is very quiet since Mistletoe left.
I'm grateful for that afternoon after school when Anna didn't know and spent some time with him on a blanket, wrapping him up because he seemed tired. Grateful that she opened up her heart.
And so even though it was "only a bird" I taught them how to say goodbye, how to to let yourself cry and how to say goodbye.
