[Gpdd] Bridge: Matilda

[Algernon07 at aol.com]

Dear Liz,
     I am so terribly sorry to hear about Matilda's sudden passing. Be 
grateful that she didn't suffer (easy to say, right?) but many of us have 
experienced grief likes yours first hand and deeply empathize with what you're going 
through.
     This sounds overly simplistic but take solace in the knowledge that you 
gave her love, comfort and a wonderful home during the time she was with you. 
That's everything in the world to a neglected piggy and even a rescue piggy. A 
"forever home" for however long or short a time that may be. Having a good 
home means so much with so many unwanted guinea pigs needing such homes. 
     You made one of those little piggies very happy indeed.
     Grief is often the price we pay for such love. Perhaps that makes it all 
the more valuable.
     When the right time comes, get another little girl piggy! And love her 
as I know you will.

Wishing you solace and comfort,
Alge and the remaining Jolly Rodents: Mr. Cooders, Chester and Charlie, all 
of us still in mourning over the loss of Wilson ten days ago. And still missing 
Ebeneezer who left us 2 years ago.
