I'm crying too for you and your little Azure bitty boy He is so beautiful. I'm so sorry for you. He wasn't "just a bird." He was your friend, your companion, your first ever pet, the light of your life. I know how devastated you must be, how your heart is breaking, but please don't blame yourself. I'm sure he knew how very much you loved him. You wrote a beautiful Pet of the Day tribute to him and he must have been so very proud! And yes, just as you wrote, he was a very special bird He's flying free and happy now at the Rainbow Bridge and someday down the road, he'll be singing his sweet song to his Mom just as before. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm so very sorry {{{hugs}}}
