JoJo IS Depressed!

JOJO is DEPRESSED!

And NO it's not because his tent is gone... You see... there was a lizard in the back yard. Every day, jojo would chase Larry the Lizard around the yard. The lizard taunted jojo daily. "You can't catch me" and on it went... But the other day, he caught up to the lizard...and "played". I looked out the slider and saw him content in the grass, looking expectantly at his little lizard friend. Of course, I bolted out there... Larry the lizard was on his back, chest heaving. jojo just looked at him, "Get up! Let's play." I knew Larry the lizard's minutes were numbered. So, I picked him up...and placed him on a piece of card board...and laid him in the sun. But he took his last breath shortly there after.

Every since that day...jojo has been depressed. I'm serious. He lays in the back yard, looks longingly at the fence...waiting for Larry the lizard to come out to play. He cries. Just sits there and cries. Yesterday, I had a heart to heart with jojo, "you killed him bubba... he ain't coming back, because YOU killed him." Bless his little heart... he just doesn't understand. So, everyday... he looks for his friend and everyday he is heart broken.

Have you ever lost a friend? You were just "playing"... it was just a "game"... Yet, in the process wounded that friendship... Was the wound fatal? Or can there be healing? Do, you sit at the fence, and long for your friend? Anything you can do?????

If jojo could take it back ~ he would ~ in a heart beat ~ He misses his lizard friend... and jojo IS depressed.
