Drew Holcomb & the Neighobors - Live Forever

Okay so this is a video over my past and present pet rats. The song is the title and the story is written by someone anonymous - I found it at http://ratassociationoftexas.org/Comfort.html but I changed a few words around just to make it flow a little better.

Yes it's a bit of a sad video and I know you will have to probably pause it a couple times to read the slide, I couldn't figure out a way to slow it down. But please try to bear with it. There are God contents in the story, if anything think back that you always hoped that an expired pet/loved one is at a better place without suffering.

The Story:
Mommy,


I is gettin ta rite ya a letter an I hopes ya gets ta reed it. I is sittin wif my butt on God's toes keepen dem warm fer him. I tink him likes it cuz when I look up, him is awlways smilin at me. It weren't so good when I firstess gots here tho. I was jus sooo sad cuz I misses you. Eben wif awl ob da nicess stuff an da nicess critters I jus cudn't seem ta get happy. Did ya know dat I can wook down an see you? I can an I was jus stayin sad when I seed awl ob yer teers. Sumtimes, God eben lets awl ob us visit our mommies but you can probly tell dat. Lotsa times I still snuggle up nex to you an can eben heer yer heart beatin. Sumtimes I is eben at yer feet an legs like I usta do but I jus can't help it. Sum habits are hard ta break. I was sad fer a wile till God picked me up in hims arms an telled me sum stuff. Him sayed dat one day we wud be tagether again. Ob course dat made me happy but I just hadta know when. God sayed dat you was stil needed down on earf to hep udder critters an eben peeple too. It seems dat you are needed there an until ya gets here dat I hasta hep God wif lotsa tings, jus like I usta hep you wif. I ain't gots ta hep wif the washin an puttin away clothes yet but wif so many ob us here, we is takin turns. God' robe keeps gettin veggie stains on da bottom. Fer now, God kinda likes me bein close to him, but him says dat I wills awlways be close.

@ItsKyuubi thanks for enjoying it :)

[jonnyjaxn]

just so you know there are human beings that are literally starving to death. human beings that would love the time,affection, and money your spending on rats..

[runner4texas]

@jonnyjaxn Oh yes I know what you mean it's a cruel world at times fortunately humanity can be found in this world. As for myself I try and help out as much as I can as a paramedic towards strangers and my community. Happy thanksgiving, thanks for your input and the time of watching my video.

@Levonanureen Thanks, yes it is hard but the best thing is knowing that you gave him/her a good quality life and that you have the ability/choice to share that with another new rat.

@jonnyjaxn just so you know there are human beings that are literally starving to death. human beings that would love the time, affection, and money your spending on being a jackass on the internet. Oh man, that's funny, it works for all hobbies!
