Ode to Spiky & Flexy

 Oh, I miss you so much, I hope you had good lives.  

Spiky, you ran away in the Grand Hotel, but you still live my heart.

Flexy, you traveled from ocean to ocean, through the desert, and visited the Grand Canyon (whether you knew it or not).

You were both born in a science classroom in San Ramon, and went from a mealworms to beetles while you saw the world from your cozy sawdust home.

I miss you...

Love,

Kelsey

 Spiky ran away during our Grand Canyon adventure, and Flexy passed away sometime today.  They may have been tiny creatures, but they were still nourished, nurtured and loved.

I remember the first time I caught a caterpillar and I took it to school for show and tell. I was devestated when I came in the next day and the little guy had died. I was certain I would see it turn into the most beautiful butterfly the world had ever seen.
I don't know what I would have done if I ever owned a dog...I am pretty certain they don't live forever.

Oh no, Jen! Oh, poor Kelsey. :( So sorry...
