Today, I have very very very very very sad news. I was going to blog about it yesterday, but I was too devasted to. Ok, so here is the news... Our beloved hamster, Ivan, died just yesterday. It was very sudden you know. I came home from math tuition, and was just at the door of my house when my mother said in a grave voice, " I have some news to break to you... Ivan is... dead." I was shocked and for a moment, stood rooted to the ground. Finally, I found my voice and before I could utter a word, tears streamed down my cheeks. I went over to my hamster's cage and peered in, hoping to wake up from this nightmare and find my hamster still alive and well. To my dismay, I saw him lying there, his body cold and limp. I could even smell a little stinky decomposing smells. After a sombre dinner, we drove to the nearby field and burried Ivan there. My brother and I had written goodbye notes earlier on and placed them in the ground as well. My mother said a prayer to thank God for all that He has done for Ivan- helping him to go through an operation, and helping us to find him countless times. We took a long last look at the spot where Ivan was burried and said our last goodbyes. I gave a small wave as tears welled up in my eyes. We turned to leave ang headed for home. This was really a sad night for us all. Goodbyr, Ivan.
