Roxy, my Midnight hued mouse. You were so dear to me. In summer time I remember just getting you...a baby mouse with a black pelt in my hands. I loved you from the minute I saw you. In fall, I sang to you as we snuggled down for bed...In winter, I let you walk on the keys of my brand new computer...In Spring of year 2004...you got very ill...A tumour, cancerous...I held you in my hands while you slowly fell into eternal sleep. I buried you beside a beautiful tiny river that ran through the back of my house, in a jeweled box with velvet insides. I sprinkled you with Pixi dust...and made a cross for you out of things I found around the forest area. I popped poppers around your grave to make it more decrative...I made you a tombstone, and wrote things about you on it...I brought your sisters, and companions to the site to say goodbye...One last time. And even now, you burn in my heart, always and forever I will love and appreciate you...my Roxy...Goodbye.
