Oh SNAP.

OKAY- I know it has been forever. Please forgive me.

Abby is learning how to snap. It is really cute. She sits there at all times snapping her little fingers. I love it.

Sadly, our beloved pet gerbil Snowflake passed away yesterday. I'm not sure what happened, as she was young, hadn't been acting sick. It was strange. And grossly, her sister Sparkle, ate her insides, it was really gross. Abby cried, I cried for Abby. It was a nice memorial service led by Ernie. I said a prayer for comfort for us, especially Abby and Sparkle. Then while trying to go to sleep, Abby told me her brain told her to say a prayer. (I was laying by her for extra comfort until she fell asleep) We moved into my room so we could turn on some music. I left the room for a minute and came to to Abby on her knees saying a prayer. I don't know what she said, but it was a touching moment.

What a sweet heart. Did Abby see the other eating it? Gross. Traumatic experience. Obviously you have taught Abby well because she knows who to turn to when she is sad. Sweet story. Sorry about the gerbil.

I love when they pray on their own. It's so cute and trusting.
Total bummer about the gerbil...I feel for you; our own Sparkle, Em's hamster, died of a tumor in the mouth last year and it was rather heart-wrenching. But just for Emma. I was sad for her, but I sure didn't like that hamster much....

Janelle- Luckily I found the gerbil first and so Abby never saw anything gross. Ernie was sweet enough to take care of it and cover all except it's sweet little face so that Abby could say good bye. Not traumatic other than losing her beloved gerbil.
