Lola was a sweet piggy who lived a long life, being around seven or eight years old when she passed away this morning, on Wednesday, March 6, 2013.
I knew that her time was coming. A few days before, she had let me pet her without moving a tiny bit, and the look on her face told me that she was ready to die, right then and there.
This morning I found her fast asleep in her cage, her body unmoved. Her eyes were half shut as if she had peacefully been sleeping. She looked like she was crying; I knew she would miss us too.
This isn't goodbye - I know I'll see her in Heaven one day. I won't grieve when I think of her, but I'll smile at the memory.
