This tribute is for a special little baby bird, I named her Fluffy because of the way she always shook herself and looked so “fluffy” after 🙂
I remember how excited I was July 10th, when I got her at the vets after someone found and brought her there. I made so many plans and wanted to give her the best of Mommy’s care so she can grow up into a beautiful blackbird. Also last Summer I grew a baby blackbird up, and released it to nature successfully. So I never thought it wouldn’t work this time.
All too soon it ended after 24 hrs.
I cried so many tears for you, my heart ached so much to see you’d gone without me being there. If only I wouldn’t have left that evening?! There are so many unanswered questions, I’ll never understand why we didn’t get a chance. That night I came home to take you out of your cage and teach you everything a birdie needs to know, and you were laying there…I still remember the pain and deep sadness I felt. My dream of growing you up and saving your tiny life was all gone in a split of a second…
I’m so sorry Fluffy, I know you are now happy at Rainbow Bridge, probably already flying around and chirping like you used to. May you have plenty of food and love and warmth. Know that I’ll never forget you. Even though your presence in my life was way too short, you made me laugh and I felt as if you were thankful. I’m glad I have two pictures of you and me, you’re proudly sitting on my hand. I would have never thought you’d be gone a few hrs later after taking them…
Hop around Fluffy and fly free, Mommy will always remember you and your little special ways,
Love always and forever,
| Fluffy |
