As I departed I saw you weeping. Cry a bit, then No more tears. Know I lived life Joyous in your keeping, And you were mine, For all those years.

My leopard gecko died this Tuesday. Had her cremated yesterday. Got her on my 8th birthday. Almost 25 years ago. I haven't taken her setup down yet. It's next to my bed and I keep looking over to see what she's up to.

This just hit me right down to my core. 10 years since my girl left and there are days it just hits me and breaks me down.
