LUCKY
I remember the first day my mom brought you home. You were so little and helpless. We had you in a cardboard box and fed you with a bottle. I also cradled you in a blanket like a baby. You helped me through a lot of things in my life. I will always remember you. One time you had a slug stuck on your forehead and it was so gross but we had to get it taken off. That was funny to see and when you first came home my dad didn't want you. He told my mom to bring it back but there was nowhere to go besides us. We saved you and that's why your name is Lucky. My family and I were very lucky to have you also. Now is a time for you to go and live a wonderful life in heaven. Please have a great time but please wait for me. I am more than positive God will take care of you. But I am most happy that you will not be suffering. I feel ashamed that I have let you suffer. I am sorry for all the pain you had to go through and soon that pain will all be gone. I wish I could be selfish and have you with me forever but I can't go on like that. I need to do what's right. Please forgive me for everything. I love you so much Lucky, more than any other living or non-living thing. May you rest in peace and be painless. I LOVE YOU, Rachel
