Skippers letter 2017

[chiprockskip]

 Skipper always outnumbered !
Hello little mate, another year has passed since you slipped away i can't help thinking of you how i found you. You looked so peaceful lying on your back perfectly lined up with the sides of the cage the feathers on your head fluffed up. You looked happy, it had only been 10 days since your super best friend Rocky had gone maybe you thought you couldn't live without him and you just decieded to go find him. Maybe he came back for you and said "hay Skip come with me you wont be poorly hear".


Or perhaps you where just pleased that it was all over, that the fight you'd never win had ended. But oh how you fought little Skipper, every day a new round you were only a little stunted runt but you must have had the heart of an eagle. The times i saw you in pain covered in sick and yes there where times i thought would it be better to take you for a last trip to the vet. No i could see it in you you so wanted to live i'd clean you up and warm you and you'd be off fast as your little legs would let you, off to try and be like Rocky, to try and join in with whatever was going on. I felt so sorry for you Skip you never flew you never sang and you never knew. To you really bad was just alright and miserable was good so you never knew and we wasn't going to tell you. You coped. you fought, you did so well i admired you little one i knew there was such a beautiful song in your heart.
    And so your gone, gone from this world i hope to one where your little body's strong and your wings will lift you. A place where your song will be heard and your friend Rocky is at your side, a place where you'll be happy. Because only those who know misery truly appreciate happiness. I love you Skipper i'm so sorry i let you down in the end. I so hope god lets us meet again one day i'd love to see you whole playing with Rocky and the others because that's what you wanted not much to ask for a poorly little bird that can't fly or sing eh. I'm sure you'll be granted God or Jesus wont deny such determination as yours. Sleep well Skipper

I can't read all of this; I got the first paragraph and was already bawling.

Have you never thought about getting another couple, @chiprockship? You have such a great heart, it is a shame some other budgies can't share that with you.
