One of our puppies died this morning....the boys were gone camping and the girls found the puppy and came running....it was a very sad morning for the girls.....
It was our little boy with the two black eyes, that the kids had decided to name Tyson.
Makes me think of this quote:
"No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less,... any man's death diminshes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." (John Donne)
We feel and mourn the loss of anyone who is a part of our lives, because we are involved, we are the less without them. I am sad for little Tyson, and I am sad for Abbie who really has felt this loss the most of all my kids, but I hope she will find something to learn about from this experience too...
