Please whisper a prayer for Allie tonight.
After returning home from a routine doctor’s appointment, her family was met with an unexpected heartbreak — Allie’s beloved bearded dragon had passed away.
For Allie, the loss feels enormous.
She is devastated. The kind of devastation only a child feels when something they loved deeply is suddenly gone. Her pet wasn’t “just an animal” — he was a companion, a comfort, a constant presence in her everyday world.
There were no warning signs. His tank was the proper size. The heat was regulated correctly. He was well-fed and well cared for. He was four years old and had been healthy when they brought him home from a friend. Sometimes, there is no clear reason — sometimes, things just happen.
That doesn’t make the loss hurt any less.
Tonight, Allie is grieving quietly, trying to understand how a day that began normally could end with such sadness. It’s a reminder that even small losses can carry big emotions, especially for a child whose heart is still learning how to let go.
Please keep Allie in your thoughts and prayers — for comfort, for peace, and for gentle healing as she says goodbye to a friend who meant more to her than words can explain. 💔🙏
