For Ken, I hope you receive this.

[Guest guest]

Dear Ken: I know how you feel. I have had animals that I have been very

attached too and they had to pass on for one or another circumstance. It is not

easy to loose one you love, be it a dog, cat, bird, or person. We all hurt

when we loose one that has brought us so much joy. Maybe your bird was sick,

maybe that was why she had gotten the way she was. I am sure she didn't mean to

be that way. Since she had loved you, like you loved her.

So may it is for the best, but I know we don't like to hear that. I have

lost a lot of animals and my heart always hurts as if it was a person.

I know you wouldn't want to hear this but this always worked for me. When

one would die I would get another, Why, not to replace her or him, as no one

can be replaced but because there are so many animals out there that need love,

so many, just look around, and you will find him or her. You will soon find

that joy you are missing now.

You will never forget your little one, but some of the joy will come back.

Please don't grieve too much, she, or he, is with the Lord, and is happy now.

Love, Colletti
