*Today my childhood pet Marshmallow had to be put to sleep because of kitty cancer. I've dealt with it by not really dealing with it. I didn't want to get all upset in front of Lucas because he can't really understand that sort of thing yet. I always hate seeing my mother cry when I know I can't do anything about it and I just don't want Lucas to see me like that right now.
**I got Marshmallow from my Grandparents' farm the summer between 2nd and 3rd grade. Once the summer was over, my grandparents drove us all the way from GA back to Texas where we lived at the time. Marshie was there for me when my Dad was in the Persian Gulf. She was my only friend for a while when we left Texas and moved to Savannah and I started 4th Grade with a class full of people that had known each other since kindergarten. She was always there to cuddle with when I got my heart broken over some dumb boy in high school. When I got married and moved out, our apartment didn't allow pets so I left her behind. She kept my sister company while her husband was in Iraq and then she stayed behind to keep my parents company when Lori moved out. I think my Mom was the most upset about having to put Marshmallow to sleep. I'm just glad Marsh doesn't have to suffer anymore.

Oh Kari, I'm so sorry. Losing a pet is so hard.
