Okay everyone. My tortise died today. Tomorrow afternoon we are having a funeral for him. So...if I'm not here...that's where i'm at. Yes I'm pathetic, but I couldn't just let him go without saying something about him. I know it's weird, but go with it.
Lumpy was the best tortise in the world. He was uber sweet, and never ticked me off like my other pets did. Lumpy was always there to greet me in his little tank whenever I returned from school. He was one of the only constant things in my life. As my world crumbled around me, he was there. Lumpy never betrayed me. Never lied. His little tortise innocence comforted me...kept me stable. Lumpy watched me at my weakest and lowest moments...and never took advantage of that. He was my friend...and for a long time...the only one I had to talk to. At first, I didn't want to let him go. I wanted to hang onto him forever...keep his small lifeless self in my arms...because I wasn't ready to give him up. I had depended on him for so long...I felt helpless without him.
If it wasn't for my friend here on the site...Jonnie ...Regs ...Nana...I could be doing something entirely different right now. Thank you guys for your support
To most people the death of their tortises wouldn't be such a big deal. But Lumpy wasn't just a tortise to me. He was my brother. My confident. And until a few days ago, my hope. There will always be a spot in my heart for him. Have fun wherever you are little Lumpy. Good bye.
