Pele by Jamie Bible / Mumma

My Little Birdie,
You lived such a short time but what an impact you made. When I found you I was so scared for you. I loved you and cared for you and you were doing so well. You even started to get your big birdie feathers. I would love to watch you preen them like such a big bird. My favorite was the “horn” you were growing on your head, I loved the part down the middle.

I will never forget you doing “the turkey” when you wanted to be fed. I can still see you hopping to me when I would put you down. You would try to use your wings but you were still too young. Thank you for your little cheeps and for being my constant companion. You brightened my life and I am so thankful that I got to know you. I could see and feel your soul right away. Every time you looked at me and cheeped back, I knew we had a connection that could not be explained. I tried everything I could to keep you here with me but I guess God has bigger plans for you. I never left you and held you as you died. I kissed your sweet little back and breathed you in one last time.

I pray that you will come to me when it is my time to die and be there by my side when life leaves me. Your life has changed me forever and I hope the love that we shared prepares you for your journey ahead. I love you Pele and I am comforted that I will see “My Little Birdie” again.

 

You are my Special Angel
