I ran over and killed my 4 yo daughter's kitty today.

I feel terrible and there are so many tears from my little ones. I know this is small but if you could just say a quick prayer to St. Francis for their little hearts I would appreciate it.

Praying to St. Francis for you all!

Praying the intercession of St. Francis for your children! It is always difficult to lose a pet, especially when we cause it. Praying for you too--you are not a bad mommy, cats just seem to like to hang around vehicles.

Thank you, the children are feeling better. There was another outburst of sorrow right before bed, but the pain is easing. They picked some weed type flowers and laid them on the grave.

There were 4 kitties, the children named them Meg, Amy, Beth, and Jo (he's the only boy kitty) It was little Beth who died. It happened so fast, poor sweet kitty.

Praying for your children...and seconding the sentiment that you are not a terrible mother. You are a very loving mother who feels the pain in her children's heart very deeply.

A terrible mother would have ran over the cat on purpose...and then felt good about it.
