Scrat you came into my life ten years ago. I remember the first thing the lady at the pet store said to me, “This guy will bite you, he has a very bad temper”, and boy was she right. But as mean as you tried to be you had a sweet side of you that everyone just adored. Through the years our bound grew that much stronger, so strong when I was sad you always did something simply comical so I could
have a good laugh.
You even had feline friends, you used to play with Tianna though you tried to be pretend you hated her but in all actuality you loved her. As the years went by you saw me through hard times. I remember when I brought you to teach, the kids loved you and you enjoyed every minute of the attention and love. I remember when I got your brother Monty, boy did you hate him at first you did not want that gecko sharing your tank but you began sharing everything with him, heck you even slept with him; sure you wanted people to think you were all big and bad but you weren’t. Then I began to notice you started to slow down and lose the urge to eat; you even began sleeping ten hours or more a day. I knew you were old and maybe was ready to pass on but I could except it…I didn’t want to.
Unfortunately this morning my nightmare came true, you died in your sleep, peacefully. I the feelings I feel are immanence. I feel like a huge part of me is gone…my son…my baby boy …is gone….my son..I’ll miss you so much..and I know in my heart you need to pass on…I love you..with all my heart..I’ll miss you.
Love, Daddy,
