Hello big Rocky time go's by and things change but i always remember you mate. You where a good friend, eventually it took a while to convince you to be a good boy. Do you remember how you used to bite me and your Mum we'll blame her eh for putting all those mirrors in your cage. You where always the leader of the flock even if it was only your own reflection. How was you to know eh. So i took you away from the other birds, removed all the mirrors and for a week it was just you and me. At first you'd sit upon my finger but you'd bite and bite. Then clever Rocky you figured it out, we started to have some fun. Sometimes i'd talk to you with my face not far away from yours and i'd do that droning monotone voice. Slowly your eyes would close, your head would dip forward you'd settle on my finger and you'd be fast asleep. I knew i'd won you over then. It never worked on any of the others. You must have really trusted me. I was so proud of you my big Rocky.
You where only 6 when you passed and all because of my stupid mistake i'm so sorry Rock you know i'd never hurt you on purpose i can't forget that morning, the way you lay on my hand one wing hanging down lifelessly. I was trying to encourage you "c'mon Rock fight it don't give in mate" just for a moment i thought you'd do it, you raised your head up pulled that wing in nice and neat. You took one last look round. You took in your domain,my front room. Your cage with all your toys, Skipper waiting for you, his best friend, the door where you'd fly up on and do your morning song each day, and me your human friend. I think maybe you where just checking that your world was in order. It was and so you left. Poor Rocky i hope that in that moment you knew you where loved. Because you where by me and Skipper, Skipper loved you so much he couldn't go on without you and 10 days later he followed you.
Good night my big Rocky rock i know wherever you are you'll be the leader of the flock and little Skipper will be by your side. Sleep well my friend.
