We went together like peanut butter and jelly...so, why did the jelly grow old? Why did you have to leave us too soon?

Do you remember those times when I'd play cowboys with you? Remember how you kicked my face inadvertantly when I stood behind you? Remember when we went to the state fair and got reserve champion?

I hope that you know, that your grain bucket is full of grain...waiting for you. And don't worry... Jiffy is now a mother, also. You lit up our worlds...so why did it come crashing down?

My dear Skippy,
We lost you to soon.
I promised myself that I'd do something important before you died...
but what have I done?
Am I still mooching off of my parents money?
Do I still play with the llamas?
And what about Smokey who enjoyed your shade the best?
My heart cannot glow without you by my side...
Can it glow?
You and I shared the same birthday...
You were the older sister I never had.

If I could see you once again...and feel the peanut butter colored fur that you had- well, I'd be the happiest girl in the whole entire world. If I could just play one last game of cowboy with you...I would be happier than the brightest star.

Today is the anniversary of your death. Two whole years...

My beloved llama.

Skippy.
