In Mourning

.
.

I've been asked a few times how Naomi took the loss of her adopted pet.

.

My answer would be- I reckon she took it as any little girl would.

.

When I told her, she sobbed in my arms for a while. Then she went to find something, quite frantically. When she found what she was looking for she brought it to me, tears still streaming down her face.

.

It was a book she made about Skip called As Much as I Love Ice Cream.

.

(you do know how much she loves ice cream, right?)

Such a sweet book I'll have to put up for her to remember her pet by.

.

I also caught her making little clay memorials.



My sweet Naomi. It's so sad to see her mourn.

.

Wish I could say Santa could bring her a new one but I (selfishly) can't bring myself to say that.

.

I am sure Santa coming is just enough to lift her spirits anyways.
