My most precious photo

 

This is a photo that I like, because I remember perfectly that day it was taken. In 2018 I remember I was looking for one of my ferrets, his name was Binks, he was a naughty ferret; playful and affectionate, he loved to sleep in the strangest corners, that day I remember well that when it was time to put him in his cage, we couldn't find him, I looked for him for at least two hours, I shouted around the house "Binks come here" and as he didn't appear I started to worry and despair, After several hours it occurred to me to look in my younger sister's pyjama drawers and there he was, sleeping peacefully, without a care in the world, as soon as I saw him, I felt my soul return to my body. Now when I tell it I laugh to think where he hid to sleep, however at the time I remember it wasn't funny, I cried a lot when I tried to look for him. Well the reason why I like this picture in particular, is because it makes me remember an anecdote of my little Binks, he passed away from cancer at the beginning of 2021 and seeing pictures and videos of him makes me happy, because I can remember how he was when he was alive.

And I remember how happy I was when I was with him, he was my happiness, my world and my everything, he was the one with whom I learned what it was to be responsible for a living being and who taught me the pain of loss, the memories I have with my little Binks are the most precious to me.
