TURKEY by SWAPNA MARATHE / Your loving mom, dad,
brother and sister.

This is a story about our pet Turkey who was a cute pom, a bit overweight because we used to feed him and he used to love eating, especially tomatoes. He grew up along with us so I don’t have the recollection of the earlier days, but in the later stages when I started understanding, I understood his value in our family.

He was like a younger brother to me, playing around, cuddling and sleeping on the bed in winters. The most I remember are his last days when because of a reaction of a medecine he could not walk and we had to do everything manually for him. He waited with his eyes and mouth open all the while waiting for the whole night as my dad and brother who were out of station supposed to come the next morning. But unfortunately he passed away in sleep before they could meet him, but the heart warming thing was so many people turned up
for his simple and small cremation.

By giving my story here I want to make him immortal for us…..it is an unforgettable love that we got from someone
who expected only love in return.
AND I SELECTED THE BACKGROUND AS MY MOM USED TO SEE HIM SOMETIMES IN THE CLOUDS.

 

With love,
TURKEY
