history: One morning my mother came to pick my daughter up for school and told me she saw my daughter's cat dead outside. My mother picked my daughter up for school to take in the morning_comma_ and found her cat dead. It was so hard for my daughter and made us all very upset. I bet it was.  Death is never an easy thing to deal with_comma_ especially for a child.
current: Yes, she was only about 9, and loved her cat so much. It broke my heart to see her so upset!
next: I hope she will be alright!  I remember how devastated I was when my last dog passed away and I was an adult.  A kids emotions seem to amplify everything!
