I remember the day I got you from the pet store. Grandpa brought me to the pet store and I got 2 gerbils. When I brought them home they weren’t what I thought they would be so grandma brought me back to the pet store and there was 2 guinea pigs. I picked you. I named you Buddy cause the lady at the store said you were a boy but a month after I got you, you had 2 babies but one died and I kept the other one Squeeker. Every time I would take you out of the cage he squeaked until I put you back.
Than one day I went to give you 2 some carrots.
You were lying there not moving. I called grandma and you were gone. You had died sometime in the night. We buried you beside Aunt Samanth’s tree. Squeeker would not stop crying and I held him all day. The next day I went to the pet store and got a boy guinea pig. I brought it back the same day and the man at the store said they were getting a baby girl in and he would save it for me.
When I went to the pet store to get it I knew what one it was right away. She looks like you. She has the same white marking as you. I named her Cookie, but she doesn’t take the pain of you away. I still think of you all the time. I miss you lots. Have fun in heaven with god and I will see you
when my time comes.
Can't wait to see you again,
