(Sad UPDATE post #52) I think Gimli's dying.

[Macawnutz]

No No No. Not Gimli. Oh Becky, I am so sorry. Unfair, so unfair. You did everything and more. He fought so hard. I am in tears for you, unfair.

Fly free sweet Gimli, you were loved very much. Becky, pray that Gimli's fond memories help you now.

[SIZE=+2]Lend Me A Bird
​

[SIZE=+1]
"I will lend to you for a while, a bird", God said. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]For you to love him while he lives and to mourn for him when he is dead. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe for two or three. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me? [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]He'll bring his charms to gladden you and should his stay be brief,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]You'll always have his memories as solace for your grief. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]I cannot promise that he will stay, since all from earth return,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]But there are lessons taught below I want this bird to learn. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]And from the folks that crowd life's land, I have chosen you. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Now will you give him all your love; nor think the labor vain; [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Nor hate me when I come to take my lovely bird again? [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, thy will be done, [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]for all the joys this bird will bring, the risk of grief we'll run." [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Will you shelter him with tenderness? [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Will you love him while you may? [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]And for the happiness you'll know forever grateful stay? [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]But should I call him back much sooner than you've planned; [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Please brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]If, by your love, you've managed, my wishes to achieve, [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]In memory of him you've loved; be thankful; do not grieve. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Cherish every moment of your feathered charge. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]He filled your home with songs of joy the time he was alive. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Let not his passing take from you those memories to enjoy. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]"I will lend to you, a Bird", God said, and teach you all you have to do. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]And when I call him back to heaven, you will know he loved you too. [/SIZE]

Good bye Gimli.

I was so lucky to meet, and then share a year and a half with such a sweet, gentle soul. My little old Green Cheeked Amazon is now free.

Gary called (Thank you Gary, that meant so much to me), just to offer comfort, and 20 minutes after we hung up Gimli closed his eyes for the last time, and took his last breath.

He was in my arms for which I am grateful, I am so glad he didn't pass in his crate while on the way to the vet.

Becky (Merlinsmom) also called right after, and her words and care were a great comfort.

I'll miss you so very much my little Gimli.

Your loss is felt Thank you for giving him the time you did. He was loved and that is what does count. My condolences to you on your loss.
