You'll notice that today's post has a title other than the date. Today's post is especially for Ollie, my beloved hamster, who peacefully passed away today in her sleep after almost a week of suffering. For today's post, I have decided to write a letter to Ollie as a tribute to her, so here goes.
Dear Ollie,
You hold a very special place in my heart. Though you weren't my first hamster, you were definitely the best hamster I'll ever have. You were a friend, a companion, a comforter, a listener; you were everything to me. Waking up everyday to see you greet me during breakfast at the front door of your cage always made me so happy. Sometimes, you'd even be hanging upside down from your cage bars like a little koala. That was the cutest. Whatever you did, you'd be that little spark that would help brighten my day.
I particularly remember that day when I decided to build you a lego fort. I remember you loved it so much, and became so busy trying to climb over all the colourful blocks. It was such a mission to keep you in that fort! And of course, I took lots of pictures for you that day too, one of which I used for my post today. You were only nine months old back then, and look at you now, it's been more than two years. A dwarf hamster's only supposed to live a year, or two years max, but you defied the odds and almost lived three! You celebrated two birthdays with me, and watched me the moment I got into high school right until grade 12. You were always there when I needed someone to talk to late at night.
You were such a fighter too. I remember the time when you got sick, and I was so scared you would pass away. But you fought and fought, and turned from weak to strong and conquered all odds. I had never seen a hamster do that ever in my life. And you even ended up living another 1.5 years. Talk about being a warrior!
I know that your time has come to leave this earth and that God has chosen you to be his special little angel in heaven. In fact, you'll be God's little hamster angel, isn't that cute? At least I know that one day, I'll see you again in heaven and that we'll be together again. That's something to look forward to isn't it?
To be honest, I don't think I've ever cried over the death of a pet before, so the fact that I'm crying over losing you Ollie, definitely means you have a special place in my heart. You were a great friend to me, more than I could ever ask more, and I wish that I took better care of you back then. I'll miss you a lot. <3 All the best Ollie, God Bless!
Love your beloved owner and friend,
Ange <3

Ollie rest in peace :)
ReplyDeleteIt's alright cuz, like you said, Ollie definitely lived a well life pushing pass the norms of a dwarf hamster!
And I gotta say, Ollie was my favourite hamster too, the only one I was actually ok enough with to look at him closely though through the barrier of his plastic cage.
And I am sure he was happy to have met you in his lifetime too ^^
Rest in peace Ollie, you will not only be remembered by Ange but her cousin as well!!!
thanks cuzzz <3
