After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure. ~J.K. Rowling
On the Dr. Phil show some parents were worried about getting pets for their children because they didn't want their children to be sad when the pet died.
Dr. Phil told them that children who have pets die are better able to cope when people in their life die.
Preston learned about death this week when our little Lady hamster got sick. Our dear neighbor came over and held her - because I was so whimpy to do it. (In a car ride a couple of days later Preston told his friend that Noelle is so brave because she came and held Lady when she died). It really was traumatic - the poor thing was moaning.

We put her in a box and Preston said, "Let's draw a picture of Lady on the top so Heavenly Father knows it is a hamster"
We buried her in the Warrens garden next to their 2 hamsters. They are probably running around together in heaven.
Preston has asked a couple of times when Lady is going to come back.
Children are so very wise.
