This was Alex's first real dealing with death, and let me tell you, it was hard on both of us. I am heartbroken over the loss of my baby, but what made it worse? Seeing Alex heart broken over it. She keeps crying over him still today. I keep telling her that he's in rat heaven, and I taught her how to pray to him. I explained to her how wonderful rat heaven is, and that he is going to live there forever. Nothing helps.
So now, dear Bernard is laid to rest under a beautiful tree in our back yard, which I plan to plant flowers over. Here's to Bernard- you will be missed little buddy.
