in welcoming Sookie to our family!

Sookie is a 9 week old kitten that was abandoned with her brother and sister on the harbor at 2 days old. Our new-found friend Chris bottle-fed Sookie since that day. We brought her home on Tuesday and she has been such a good girl. She has a completely different personality than Max, Aidan was the first to pick up on that. We are stilling missing Max, but having Sookie helps with the sadness.

We will miss you...

Max!

Max was born on March 3, 2007 and went to Heaven on June 17, 2007. Max was an awesome kitten, he was bottlefed from shortly after birth and came to live with us at 6weeks old. Although Max was only in our lives a short time, he will be greatly missed.

We struggled with what to tell the boys, do we lie, do we tell the truth. Honestly I wanted to lie, I wanted to protect them from the pain of loosing their animal, I wanted to say he went away to live with his friends or something like that. However, I was convicted to tell them the truth...so we did. They cried, we looked at pictures of Max, they both carry a picture of him in their pocket. And the are mad at the "scary wolf dog" that hurt their kitten so bad that he died. (I am mad at the dog too, for what its worth.) After we told them, we prayed, asking God to keep Max safe and happy and to help each of us feel better and not be sad. I am still sad :(
