So Hard!!

A couple of days ago, I was so excited to introduce you all to our newest family member, this is Cotton Tail Kearl. Nathan had been really struggling with many things and was so sad still ( 6 months later) that we gave Sami (our black bunny) to some friends. Jay and I decided a new bunny might just be what he needed to help him through this little "funk" he is experiencing. Two weeks ago he went with me and we picked this cute little bunny. And then off we went to get a new cage and bring her home. He named her and loved her from moment he chose her!! I was a little concerned because she had some goopey eyes but she ate well and was bouncy and loved him. What more could I have asked for? Well..... much to my dismay she went to heaven. I do not know what happened and would have never guessed there was anything "really" wrong. And still the only thing I can figure out is that she was separated from her mom too young. She was only five weeks old. Yesterday morning, I had six little ones with hearts that were truly broken in half. They cried and cried.... "mom she was only a baby and should have never died." I felt so very helpless since I could not put a band aid on it and make it better. A few weeks back we lost a friend that was only 32 years old to a very terrible accident. She left behind five gorgeous little children that went to scouts with my boys and I think the freshness of this tragedy did not help. It was such a sad day. We talked and decided they wanted to try again. This time we went to a pet store and got a bunny that is 9-10 weeks old and looks much more healthy. Poor little Nathan seems afraid to hold it and allow his little heart to get attached. I am hopeful that as the days progress he will be okay. As he prayed last night he prayed for the Beck Family(because they do not have a mom anymore), a lizard (that they put on the trampoline because of course he wanted to jump with the and his tail fell off), and little Cotton Tail (to love heaven). Such a sweet little spirit!!! But please meet Freckles Angel Kearl!!! We are hoping that this bunny stays for a very long time!!! Makes me dread the day that we lose our beloved Shadow who has been with us now for almost 14 years!!! We are off to Disneyland to play with our cousins for the next several days and turn this Spring Break around!!! And take their little minds off of sad!!! I will post pictures when we get back!!!
