              Early Saturday morning is when I arrived back at my home. My parents greeted me at the door and helped to carry in my things . Not much was changed in the time I was gone. The walls had been freshly painted and a few things were rearranged but my mother liked the change once in a while.
              After unpacking my things I rushed to where I had left LeeLee only to find him fried up and a cup tipped over next to him. Did I cause this? Was I in to much of a hurry and knocked over my glass? He was gone. I tried to power him up and get him to speak. Nothing I tried worked. He was gone for good. I was so careless I forgot about him now here he is...... He deserved better.
               My mom came downstairs and hugged me as I cried. Once the tears stopped I just sat there for a while wondering how I could forget my whole childhood and the best friend I ever had.
             After a few hours passed I decided it was time to bury him outback with the flowers he always loved. We had helped my mom plant them a while back and they were his favorite. So I got up and found my moms tiny shovel and went to look for the box his parts were in.
            I thought it was best if his coffin was the same as his first home before he was made.
           The box was hard to find and I dug through everything there was to find it. Eventually I remembered I put it on the top shelf of my closet.
           When I got the box down I took it downstairs and dressed LeeLee in his favorite outfit. I opened the box and a folded up paper fell out along with a picture. They weren't there before. Were they?
            I picked them up and tossed them on the table and placed LeeLee inside along with his favorite things. My mom helped pick out the perfect spot for him and we had our own short little service. We went back inside after it was over and she baked my favorite food to cheat me up.
