Fiver

Dearest Fiver, You were with us for such a short time that I could've never imagined your departure would pain us so much. What was supposed to be a routine procedure turned out to be too much for your heart to handle and so you left us much too soon. Through the shock and the grief I remember you with so much love and tenderness. I will miss you jumping excitedly to get your food (especially fresh fruit), nudging my behind while I crouched to clean out the playpen, seeing you sleeping or cuddling with your big brother. Although you were very timid and nervous, through the help of your brother, you gained confidence and were starting to enjoy exploring the larger part of your home. In time I had hoped to be able to hold you as much as your brother, now I shall hold you in my heart forever. I love you, I miss you, forever.
