I teared up reading your post. I am so sorry for your loss. It was a blessing that you found each other, I can tell that she was greatly loved. RIP little Sylvia.
HF, I'm very sorry, my eyes literally went teary and a knot formed in my throat. I was going to cry.
I have a sixth sense that when a fellow BYC friend (I don't call ANYONE JUST a MEMBER, I consider them as friends, even if this is my first time meeting them online) loses a bird, I can feel their sadness and sometimes I'll cry for them. RIP Sylvia. Hope you see my little girl, Popcorn, up there.
