SOAL RECOUNT

I remember the day when I first gotSandy, my 7 year old cat. I wanted to name her because she was so cute. My older sister Michelle convinced me to name her Sandy Bucket instead; so we could call herSandyfor short. I was so attached toSandy. Every time I saw her, I couldnt walk away, I would just have to hug her. I even slept at the end of my bed, so I can hug her the whole night even though I was freezing. I always remember so many fun times withSandy. Like when we would run and jump off the end of our pier, andSandywould chase after us. When I was scared or mad, I would just hugSandyand everything wouldnt be so bad. But one night, right before I went to bed, my mom let her out. While I went to sleep, my mom went to callSandyback in. But she didnt come in, so I thought she maybe went inside my neighbors house. As my mom and dad went outside to look forSandy, I became really worried. They couldnt find her. Every ten minutes they would go out to look for her, so I went to bed hoping she was safe. I just thought she got lost and would come back tomorrow. The next day was the worst. My mom woke us early and told me and my sister, Michelle, thatSandydied last night. I was so sad and did not want to do anything that day. When I was going to school, I could not stop crying. At school all my friends made me cards and tried to make me stop crying, but I couldnt. my teacher would always look at me and ask why I was crying. Even my friends was crying with me. When I got home I went to my room crying really loudly. I wanted to scream. I came downstairs and hugged my mom. She said we could get another cat. Then, she was trying to find a new cat on the internet. But I did not want another cat. I wantSandy. She never found one that looked likeSandyor at the same age or even in the same kind. That night I slept with my mom and we prayed forSandy. I kept thinking she was a ghost at the end of the bed, so I stayed closed to my mom. The next day I figured out that ifSandywas a ghost, she would not scare me or haunt me. She would be waiting for me to play with her. I still think aboutSandyevery day and wish she could come back.
