Death
Mr. Whiskers died last night. He was my son's pet rat. We told the kids this morning. Jonah cried. Matt told me to get him out of his cage and put him in a box. I couldn't do it. I loved that little rat. I should have waited until they got home from school.....Jonah is really sad. Emma says, "we can get another one. They have them at the store." She heals quickly. So can we please have a moment of silence for Mr. Whiskers our dear pet and friend........

Poor Mr. Whiskers! I'm trying to find a way to say that it is better for a child to see his/her first glimpse of death through that of a pet - but that sounds pretty heartless when you think of how Jonah must feel! Here's to movin' on I guess, eh?
actually, Felecia, that's exactly how I felt this morning. It was sort of a good way to realize the death process....
how sad... i remember when mr. whiskers became a part of your family...
it seems so soon...
