The other day Irina and I were out in the front yard pulling some weeds together when we spotted a tiny baby lizard on our driveway. He/she was so small we kept losing sight of where it scurried off to, at some point it got stuck in a crack under our garage door. I grabbed a stick and tried to get it out but I accidentally ended its life :( I was being gentle but soon noticed it wasnt moving anymore. I started to say in sort of loud and semi-crying "oh no, oh no" and Irina freaked out watching me. She was terrified and starting bawling, which made me cry and the whole thing ended when I saw ants attacking the baby lizards limp body. I quickly grabbed it with a napkin and set it aside for a proper burial that was set to commence once Irina took a potty break. I explained to Irina that the lizard wasnt going to wake up and that it was with Jesus. She accepted my story and we went to work on the burial ceremony. We dug a grave and laid him/her to rest. Irina picked some flowers and put them over the lizards final resting place. The tiny baby lizard will be missed by Craig, Irina, Crew and myself.
