Death of a Friend

We have recently gotten 2 kittens. One of them was the runt of the litter. The kids named them Rambo and Sonic. Sonic is the bigger one and a fast little guy. Rambo was the smaller one. He was up and playing the last week and Saturday morning before I went to work. Saturday afternoon he took a turn for the worse. Mark nursed him Saturday and I did Saturday night, holding him and keeping him warm. I was sick on Sunday so I stayed home and took care of myself and the kitten. He was seeming to feel better. Sage was pretty sad. Before he went to church Sage asked if we could kneel as a family and pray for Rambo. He said the prayer and asked Heavenly Father to take care of Rambo and if his will was to cure him please do that, but if it is time for him to return to live with Heavenly Father he asked that he take care on him and love him. Rambo passed away Sunday night. I told Sage Monday morning. He was pretty sad. I told him Dad was going to build a casket and we could bury him when he got home from school. His only request was to bury him up on the hill behind Granny and Granddad's. That is where Apache (a beloved dog of all the Bowen kids growing up). He also chose this place, because Mark tells the kids he wants to be buried on the hill too. It is a sad day, but a day that I realized Sage understood Heavenly Fathers plan.
