Our beloved hamster, Henry, died on Sunday. Kale received him as a gift for his birthday last year. Nate went into the room where he lived to feed him and came out whispering that Henry was dead! I didn't believe him until I looked for myself. I told Nate that this was a good time to have a discussion on the plan of salvation! So we took the kids in and told them that Henry had died. Kale wondered if he would resurrect and we said He would. Heavenly Father knows that we loved him and would let us see him again. We put him in a box and took him out in the backyard and buried him. I whisteled taps while Nate dug the hole and Kale put him into the ground. Everyday since, Kale has asked multiple times if Henry has resurrected yet! I asked him if he was sad but he said "no, i'm happy because we will see him again! As for me....no more stinky cage, no more cleaning out the cage, no more sleepless nights because Henry is SO loud on his exercise wheel, no more well you get the picture!!
