hi all, it's been one year since my precious Rosie left xx I miss her so much, I lost all of my pictures of her so the only thing I have left is a lock of her hair in a little box. Call me weird but it makes me feel like part of her is still up here with me. I feel bad because I only remembered just now that it was a year. Is that bad of me? My beautiful Rosie. I love you sweetie x rest high Angel
 
No it isn't bad, and no you aren't weird! We all grieve differently. Also some of our pets although we love them all, just leave greater impressions than others. I lost one of my favorites piggies, Pirate and the most wonderful hamster, Travis within the same week 5 years ago. In September. Every year since then I will think about them both through that month. I was that devastated over Travis that the two hamsters I've had since I have barely bonded with, I obviously cared and provided to their needs. But I didn't love them. I've had piggies die since then and i couldn't say exactly when they died. But those two little animals were so close to my heart. I have loads of photos of Pirate (and his friend Pickwick) around my room and I kept Travis's favorites house. I went to donate his things to an animal charity but couldn't leave it and left crying! In fact I can only just look at baby hamsters that look like him without blubbing!
 
It's bittersweet remembering the passing of our loved ones. It's natural to still miss someone you've been so close to. And it's not weird to have a keepsake. Just remember the good times.

Thank you so much your post is very relatable and reassuring. I feel bad when not remembering when they passed. But your post has made me feel better! Thank you for taking the time to reply xx
 
Sleep well little Rosie, you will be loved forever.
