Mallory

Today started out like a lot of days. I went to school. When Mommy came to pick me up, she told me that Mallory died today.

Mallory had a bump that was making her sick for a long time. Today Mommy and Daddy had to take Mallory to the vet so she wouldn't be uncomfortable anymore. They knew this day was coming, but they didn't know exactly when.

At first I was shocked, but then I wanted to be alone in my room for a bit to cry. Then I felt better for awhile. We had dinner and I stayed home with Daddy to do my homework while Mommy and Trent went to the grocery store.

I started missing Mallory when it was time to go to bed. I asked Mommy a million questions about what happened to Mallory. I couldn't stop thinking about her while I was in bed.

My friend Mallory at school had a dog die too. I am going to tell her about my Mallory tomorrow.

Trent doesn't get it at all. Mommy said Trent won't remember Mallory, but I will.
