The Final Croak

The little guy got Anakin for Christmas 2008.

Poor Little Guy. Last nights bed time ritual was interrupted upon realization that the little guy's pet frog, Anakin Skywalker, had been called to serve on the other side. We've known he was slipping the last couple weeks, but that never makes the good-bye any easier. My poor little guy was completely torn up. Dad, swept in (with an amazing amount of empathy and compassion, good job Jon!!) and eased the pain with a beautiful memorial service among the flowers of my front garden. Then stayed with the little guy until he could fall asleep on his own. How heart-breaking to see him so, so sad. Hopefully soon we'll be able to find a perfect replacement. Any bets on the name? I have $10 on Lord Dooku...

How cute was Jon. It stinks MOST of the time to be the PARENT! I want to be the kid again. Poor little man.
