Our 6 days of silence

My sister had her babies last Tuesday. I don't know what to say. They were so precious, all 6 of them. There wasn't even one ugly duckling among them.
The very next morning they were all dead. She says ants got them. She tried to fight them off, but there was an army and she failed.
We mourned for 6 days, one for each of them. We had 6 days of silence. Nobody thumped at all.
On the evening of the 6th day, me and my fiance Forest had a wedding, and there was much joy and thumping!
