Bambi

Bambi died today.
Adopted on March 10th, that's one day after my birthday. I remember getting him, and holding him in the car. He was shy, but after a few weeks of getting to know each other, we were great friends. I remember one day after school, I had a bad day. Everything seemed to be going wrong, but when I went upstairs to my room, Bambi came down to see me and made everything better. With his big black eyes and his little pink nose, there's nothing he could do that couldn't make me laugh. Except for this, that is.
Why am I proud of him? He was a little fighter, that's for sure. He survived a good 5 days with a respiratory illness, eyes swollen shut, a giant tumour in his side, and breathing difficulties. I'm proud of him, he made it through that, but in the end, it took over him, and the little guy went to sleep, and never woke up.
I'm happy he died the way he did, I just wish it wasn't at this time. He was too young, only over a year in age. I'm happy that it was painless for him, and any pain he has is now gone.
:( But in the end, it left me choking on tears. I'm holding him in a towel, holding his paw. It's worse than I thought, losing a hamster!
May you rest in peace, Bambi :(
