Sad Halli

My sweet Halli has such a love for animals. She wants to be a vet. I think she just might do it. A few weeks ago Halli got to bring two birds home from Grandma's house. One of the birds she watched it hatch from an egg. She would sit by the cage and watch the mama bird take care of it and was waiting for the day that the baby bird could come home. It took awhile, but baby bird was finally ready to come home with Halli.

We went to Grandma's house to pick up the bird and Grandma had a surprise for Halli. She had bought a pretty orange canary for Halli. So now we had two birds. I'm not a fan of birds but Halli loves them. So we got the huge cage that Grandma bought into the car and the small bird cage with the birds into the car sitting right next to Halli. Halli couldn't stop smiling.

Halli has taken care of her birds every day. She loves to sit in her room and watch the birds. We can hear them make their little noises of the baby monitor.

Welll last night when Halli was going to bed I heard a horrible cry. I ran upstairs and dad was holding a crying Halli. Both of the birds had died. I held my Halli and cried right along with her. My heart breaks to see her in such pain. I know the death of a pet is part of life. I still remember when my cat died when I was in 4th grade. I think Halli will always remeber this as well. The birds will be buried at Grandma's house today. There is one other bird buried at Grandma's and Halli wants her birds to be next to the other bird.

We will see how the day goes. Halli may need some extra mom time today. It took three hours for her to fall asleep last night. I'm sure we will have more tears today. I'll will hold her and probably cry right along with her.
