My Baby Rat
by Stephanie Marlett.........................................
Sky'Lyn Templeton Dancer was his name. He was my best buddy especially when I was in pain. He sat on my shoulder as I read him books. And on his face he had the sweetest look. We'd played and went to church and did everything together. And every night I prayed that we'd stay that way forever. Then I got sick and you never left my side. You stayed right there to comfort me as I cried. Then you started to get sick because of me. The kinda sick thats hard to see.I came home one day and you couldn't breathe. The vets were closed so I went to the only person that I knew I could see. She gave you some meds and you acted like you were getting better. But Igot you home and I craddled you in my arms. I feel so bad for getting you sick. And even though it has been a year since you left, I still cry every night. If I had known what I had would get you sick too. I never would have come around you. I'm so sorry you left the way you did. But I'm so glad you weren't alone. I was there with you. The best friend you ever knew. And I said a prayer as I watched you go. I said that I was happy that you weren't hurting anymore. But don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I can't be selfish, I gotta let you go. I love you and I miss you my sweet sweet boy. One day I'll be with you again. Reunited with great joy. I love you Templeton!
