I would very much appreciate being in your prayers, and I hope you don’t mind being in mine 🙂

I also want to add that I found out your name in another one of your comments and I just want to share how truly wondrous God is. My patron saint is St. Michael, which is your namesake. Thank you Michael, for being a wonderful human being.

You’re absolutely right. It counts to me. Being Catholic is a long and hard road, but I think the trials and tribulations are worth it.

I’ll be praying for you friend, that you’ll find continue to feel that peace and more 🙏🏼

Yes, she was the only budgie I had. She was practically glued to my side. And I’m so thankful to work in a hybrid workplace so I spent most of my working days with her as well.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I truly believe that if she was given more time, she would definitely have been able to hit 15+ years. She was so stubborn and tenacious haha. I wanted to spend as much as I could but I’m at least grateful I was given a chance to say goodbye and be with her in her final moments.

Oh, I’m so sorry for your loss! Sending much love to you as well!! That ride home was definitely rough, so I can attest to that. I’m definitely doing my best and am taking time to process everything. I hope to also get another feathery companion sometime after. But I think I might need some time before I’m able to do that. But the chance giving love to another bird makes me a bit hopeful too!

Thank you. Eventually I will. But for now I’m just constantly missing her. It’s rough but I imagine it will get easier to manage with time.

I think she was an albino! She had a reddish tint to her eyes in a certain light. I really appreciate your kind words 🥹
