Oh,wow!What a beautiful,touching story!(Forgive me if I spell something wrong-it's hard to type when your eyes are filled with tears!)Like Clotho,I think everything happens for a reason,and Ralphie was definitely in your life for a reason.He must be so happy-just look how your life has turned out because of him!And don't even let it enter your mind that he doesn't forgive you!An animal's heart is pure and their love is unconditional-and even if we don't fully understand something,they do!I've read in so many places that life & death is so different to them-death is just another part of life,nothing to fear.Ralphie knew that he had a purpose-and the mouse did,too!They both had a destiny to fulfill-touching your heart was just a bonus!And can't you just picture Ralphie the guinea pig and Ralphie the mouse running & playing together at Rainbow Bridge?!I can see my little Coco carrying on with them,too!Thank you so much for sharing that!Have you ever thought of being a writer?I think you'd write great children's books and stories!Or you could write stories right on the web!I'll mention both Ralphie's in my prayers tonight!Bless you!!
