R.I.P Blueberry.

This is why we don't do pets.
Gav and I shared a tender moment on the couch
when Blueberry was discovered.

We cried.

Over a fish, I know.

But still.

It was so sad.

And we buried him for Family Home Evening.
In fact, it was a good time to talk about our religious beliefs about death.

We all said a few words.

Then Spencer hummed
Amazing Grace
as we laid him to rest.

So sad.

A kid losing his first pet...it's one of those things that's so tender that you just can't help but smile just a little. I especially liked that you had a funeral FHE and Spencer hummed Amazing Grace. Have you ever seen Maverick?
