Come back, ladybug!

I received the saddest call last night from my three year old niece, Noelle. She was utterly distraught on the telephone. I could barely understand what she was saying through her tears. When it all came down to it, she had been outside in the garden and found a ladybug. This little creature was her new best friend, that is, until it flew away. She just could not understand how her BFF could leave her so suddenly.

I chatted with her mom this morning who told me the first thing Noelle asked when she woke up was if they could go out to the garden to find the ladybug. She's so heartbroken over the loss of her little friend.
