Pepper died today. Pepper, who not even was a year old. Pepper, who was raised by Mackenzie. Pepper the cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For one year I worked on a farm and saw a lot of animals dying. From swallow chicken, who have fallen out of the nest, over dead born bunnies to lambs, who had to be shot because of sickness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the natural process of nature. Everyday dying about 152.000 people. If we would grieve about everyone like if its a family member, we already would\u2019ve died from psychic dead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s a difference if a six-year-old girl watches how you\u2019re digging a whole in the garden. There\u2019s a difference when you see with how much feelings she\u2019s lifting the sand out of the earth, with a shovel, which is way too big for this little girl. There\u2019s a difference if you see looking the girl at the little cat body in the whole. There\u2019s a difference when this six-year-old girl insists on hand-burying the cat with the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I saw a lot of animals dying. And for sure I can say I didn\u2019t felt deep sadness when I realized that Pepper will die. Also not when I saw her coiled up in the whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when I saw Mackenzie with her six years: Full of anger, grief and acceptability at the same time, to hand-bury her cat on her own; I was tearing up, I was crying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not because Pepper died. Because of this girl, who never waste a thought about the suffering in the world but grieving the death of her cat that day. A family member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
