Farewell Pixy

This morning my son came into my office to tell me something was wrong with his hamster named Pixy. We knew she had a stroke about a month ago but she had seemed to pull through ok. Well, this morning she died.

Now I know it's just a hamster but sitting with my son while he cried, and hugged his mom was maybe one of the saddest moments I've experienced in a long time.

We had a chance to sit with Tobin and pray and thank Jesus for Pixy and for the gift and joy she was to him, and later today we will have a little burial service for her in the backyard.

I know it's a simple thing, but my little boy's heart is broken and my family is all sad with him & for him. So, if you would, please pray a prayer for my Tobin.
