Dear Sweet Baby…
We miss you so much. There’s a hole in my heart without you here. In my head, I know you’re in a better place because you’re no longer sick and you can breathe easily without any problems, but in my heart I still want you here with me. I hope you know how much we loved you, Baby, you were such a sweetheart. I don’t know how we’re going to go on without you. I wish I could have you still sitting on my shoulder or just inside my shirt looking up at me in your sweet way, thanking me for taking care of you.
I never minded taking care of you and please know that I did everything I could to try to make you happy and comfortable. You know how much Ryan loved you (& Cleo), and I know his heart is breaking, too, without you here. He will so miss taking you for rides in his shopping cart and will continue to play your song in loving memory of you. Cleo misses her friend and cagemate.
She now has that big cage to herself and nobody to wrestle or play around with. And I feel empty without you sitting on my shoulder. We will love you always and never forget what a sweet, gentle rat you were and how, in just two short years, you’ve come to mean so much to our family.
We love you, Babykakes, and you will always remain forever in our hearts.
