Rest in Peace Simon the Guinea Pig

As I was walking into Sekani's school to pick him up, his class was walking out, with a box. One of Sekani's friend's says to me, "He just looked different. Simon died." I joined the procession outside as the preschoolers kept repeating "Simon's dead." The director of his school had dug a hole for the box and each child got a turn to scoop the dirt back into the hole and say their goodbyes to Simon. "What are we doing?" asked one child. The director responded, "We're putting Simon back into the earth where most things go when they die." They bid their farewells-

"Bye Simon, I love you." 

"I can't think of anything to say." 

"Goodbye."
