Saying Goodbye to my Bird Friend

Yesterday was a really nice day, but the afternoon brought with it a piece of sadness. Jacob called me over to the window and said, "Mommy, I think Rocco ate your bird!" Sure enough, there were pieces of him scattered on the ground under the window.

Several weeks ago, my beautiful friend started visiting me. He would come to my window and sit and we would have the most delightful wordless conversations. I so much enjoyed his visits! He would come and talk to me, and then go and eat at the bird feeder. I am sad to lose my little friend. I know it's a natural thing, for a dog to eat a bird, but I shall miss his visits!

Jacob said to me, "I know there's other birds like him, but I guess not others that will come see you like he did". Yes, he was a special little bird, at least to me!

With Love,
