good bye, my friend

i'll surely miss seeing you hanging around in the toilet everyday before I leave home and always seeing you running around in the toilet.

You'll never fail to plan on escape and hiding somewhere dark in the house. Finding you was such a pain but always bringing laughter at the end of the day.

You love flopping around in the toilet like a little fish and runs like a sprinter when i try to catch you.

I'll miss having to shout "Stop it Bigger!" everytime you start flopping around when i want to wash you up.

Back then when I was still a little girl, when we were still living in woodlands, I'll always hide in the balcony with you. Telling you stories and singing songs to you. When I was sad, you will always be around to hear me cry whether you want it or not. But I know you do hear me cos you'll always be quietly sitting there listening to me as I stroke your shell and your tiny little head.

I have always been proud of you. I brought both you and Smaller to show-and-tell when i was in primary school. My friends loved you and tt's when I differentiated your gender too. Smaller left us years back but you still stayed around with me and moved house with us.

Though at a point, you started becoming a violent terrapin, and bite my glove when i tried to touch your nose, I know you didn't mean to harm me and I still love you very dearly.

For these 12 years, I thank you for all the good times you've given to me. You're just like a little brother whom I'll want to see everyday.

I'm sorry for the lack of care and love on my part. I really hope that you'll forgive me.

Now that you're brought to a better place, I hope that you'll see all the other terrapin friends and be really happy over there.

So long my friend, i'll always remember you in my heart. Always.
