"Is it o-kay if I cry?"

At daycare the other day, I had a student that came to me kind of sad. She came and talked to me. She told me that her dog "Wicket" was going to be put to sleep that day. How sad! She asked me, "Is it o-kay if I cry?" Oh my, that about broke my heart! I told her, "Of course it is! It is o-kay to cry when we are sad." I also told her, that I've cried a lot, even recently, when I've been sad. I just felt so sad for her because she was so sad because her dog was going to die that day. I wanted to share that tender moment that came "Out of the Mouth of Babes."
