One year ago today we lost our little friend Pippin. It was so sudden and unexpected it still feels unreal after all this time. He had been ill but seemed to have recovered and had been so happy and active over his last few days.
We still miss him, his happy chatter, funny little ways, his playfulness and joy of life. We've often wondered how such a tiny bird could leave such a huge hole in our hearts when he flew away! It must be the huge personality and all the love that we miss.
Even having another little one living with us now doesn't make us forget because Pepito is a different little character to Pippin. One day Pepito was sitting on the mantelpiece chattering away so cheerfully I got up to see what had caught his attention. He had actually pulled out a photo of Pippin from behind another photo frame - I hadn'tn realised that photo was tucked in behind there so it was a bit of a surprise! I guess he didn't want us to hide that photo anymore!
Pippin, we miss you so much but we know you will never be ill or in pain again. Thank you for all the fun, love and cute songs you shared with us. Fly high little friend!
