Ivan in his "casket"

Fat Ivan, the beloved family guinea pig, passed away last night after a week long battle with a respiratory infection. It is so very sad watching the girls grieve for him {especially Sophie - the animal lover}, but they are beginning to understand that death is also a part of life and that he is not suffering anymore. Today we had a little memorial service for Ivan and buried him in our garden in the front yard. Hannah gave a lovely prayer {amidst sobbing sisters} asking God to watch over him, love him and to let him run around, squeak and play with his friends.
It was so sweet.
