Today we are mourning a brave soul that you all knew.
Two weeks ago, on May 20th, I found him in this exact spot. Kicked around, dehydrated, and nearly dead. Keeping him through two lessons, I gave him a water soaked tower to rehydrate him, and he lived. I almost left him in a dry garden, but the environment was so unhealthy, I brought him home. I give thanks to my parents for letting me keep him, and I give thanks to my friends for supporting me through this process.
I never expected such a wonderful soul to be leaving us so soon, especially since he seemed alright throughout his time in a plant at home, but he tragically shortened his waking time, until he fell asleep forever. My parents and I kept my hope up, and did all we could to help him, but it was no use. He was already on death’s door when we found him, and couldn’t love much longer.
The more I think of him the more I find myself wishing I had acted differently, consulted an expert, but I can’t take back what happened. He was very active during his first week, moving all over the place. I never thought I would be giving this speech now.
May he rest in peace.
