Gismoe

Sept. 2 1996 —– Aug. 28 1998

Bearded Dragon

I‘ll first tell you a little about Gismoe.

He was my pet bearded dragon and I loved him so so much.

He was a very sweet lizard

even people who didn’t like reptiles (like my sister) even liked him!

My father bought him for me in a pet shop in ’96.

But anyway in August ’98 my friend was leaving from my house

so I went outside with him to wait for his Uncle to pick him up.

My parents also came out to wait with us.

I would always take Gismoe outside with me since he was so tame

but this time something scared him.

I guess it was how fast the cars were going by

that he decided to jump off my shoulder.

Anyways he ran into the road and a car ran over him.

It was the worst day in my entire life!!!!

So the next morning we had a little funeral for him and

buried him in my backyard.

The whole family and friends were shocked when I told them!!!

But we all love and miss Gismoe very much

and I can’t wait to see him at the bridge.

All I know is it’s never been the same since he died and it never will be.

I still grieve to this day.

I love you Gissy!!!!!!!!
