A sad postscript to today's letter. After writing we went over and saw that your little black gerbil, Trixie, passed away tonight. Her sister, Alice, died about a month ago, and it looks like Trixie went peacefully in her sleep. There were a lot of tears, and death is so hard to explain. especially now that your are understanding that all things die. It's the blessing and curse of pet ownership We love them so much, and we almost always outlive them. I wish I could find the episode of Mister Rogers when his fish died to help figure out how to explain it all.
Alice (2010-2012)
Trixie (2010-2013)
Love,
Daddy
