Our sweet Mia girl died

The kids and I were home as we usually are and I was in the tub taking a bath. The kids frantically called for me and told me that Mia, the guinea pig, was lying on her side and not moving. We frantically held her gently and the girls and the boys became pretty upset. She was awake and took a few bites of some food however her arms and legs were not moving. You could see her little body trying and nothing was happening.So sadly I called Garrett and we decided to see how she did throughout the day but unfortunately her condition did not get any better and we had to send Mia up to heaven.Garrett so sweet we saved her and blew dry her hair and constructed a sweet wooden box that he lined with some velvet fabric. The next morning I knew would be rough as Paige was aware she might not of made it through the night. First thing in the morning page awoke and came straight to our room, asking how Mia did. It was so heartbreaking to see your sweet little page so upset that her pet had died. This was the first pet I had owned that I could remember that had died and wasn’t given away. I was very emotional and cried out of sadness for our pet, but also out of sadness for my children. There’s nothing worse than not being able to comfort and take away pain when it’s in your children’s eyes. The next night we had a cute little funeral for her and everyone was able to say their goodbyes, Garrett gave us we listen to talked about our bodies and our spirits and used an object left sun with a glove to helpThe kids understand that her body remained but her spirit moved on. We sang a song and the girls each took a rose from her little service and we buried her on the side of the house.
