For the past weeks Siddy's mommy has been taking him to the hospital he could tell something was wrong but he just did not know why. In the hospital they went to see Siddy's daddy. Daddy was comfortably wrapped in blankets and had all sort of tubes and wire on him he heard the doctors tell his mommy that he had can-sir but siddy never saw a can named sir.

Everyday they came, daddy would see his little mouse and give him a big smile. Siddy would climbed up and sit next to him on the hospital bed tell him all about the day. But mommy would not let Siddy talk for long as she said daddy was very tired and needed rest.

On one visit when siddy climbed up on the bed daddy was breathing very hard and coughing a lot but still gave his little mouse a smile and pat on the head. He mentioned for him to come a little closer and whispered in the little mouses ears.

"Your going to have to be a big boy now Siddy, ok? Daddy going to be going soon and you have to take care of mommy"

"your going back home daddy!"

"No siddy, I am going some where else and I will not see you for a really long time. But I need you to listen to what your mommy tells you and be a good boy for her, understand?."

"Yesh, daddy i will."

"That good, I love you see"

Siddy's daddy then pat him on the head and gave him another big smile before he laid back in the bed and closing his eyes. Mommy gave a big scream and the a lot of nurses and doctors came rushing in well someone picked up siddy pulled him out of the way. As he was taken down the hall he could see him mommy crying out for his daddy before the door was shut.

The next few days they never went back to the hospital to see daddy. There was a lot of sad people coming to siddy's house as well. Giving him and his mommy big long hugs, saying that his daddy had gone to a much better place now where he would not feel sick. Siddy wondered if this was the place daddy was talking about to him.

Siddy's mommy woke him out of bed very early one day and dressed him in some dark pants and shirt nothing that siddy wore before so he did not have shoe to match. Mommy wore something similar in color before they left home.

They went to a church that had so many other furs there that there was some standing outside the door. Inside there was alot of crying but siddy did not notice them all he saw was his daddy at the front. Siddy wanted to run and see him but his mommy held his hand tightly. When they got to the front he saw that Daddy was sleeping inside a box and he looked very different. He reached up to nudge daddy's paws to wake him up but he felt very cold and did not wake up.

"Daddy!...Daddy?"

Siddy's mommy picked him up in to her arm.

"Say good bye, Siddy.

"Why? Daddy not coming back home?"

*Tears fall down her cheek as she hold him tightly.*

"angels are going to come get daddy and take him to his new home."

Siddy waves to his daddy. "Bye bye daddy"

Mommy walks them back to the seat as they closed him in to the box is and only then does siddy understand he not going to see his daddy anymore and reaches out for him wiggling in his mothers arm and crying. His mommy holds him tighter and starts to cry as well, as the service begins.

The little mouse cries his self sleep during the service and for the last time is able to play with has Daddy and see his big smile that Siddy loved so much.
