If you had asked me how I imagined our future together would be, it would of been full of so many more memories. It would of been us together for many more years.

It’s only been 3 days without you, and it still doesn’t feel real. I wake up without your breakfast call and wonder, what I could of possibly done differently? Did I miss something?
I can only hope you knew, even though I could only see you through the hospital incubator, that all I wished to do was hold you close. I wish I would of told you I love you a thousand times over that day.

Grief never goes away. And it clouds us over with hurt and confusion. But deep in my heart, I know you knew how much I loved you. And I’m so thankful I had almost 6 incredible years with you, even though I wish it was so many more.
I’m trying to remind myself I did everything I could. That these things can just happen no matter what we do. But it’s a day by day thing.
For now I’m holding your big sister Mimi close and trying to remember you with a smile instead of tears.

Thank you guys for being so supportive while she was in the hospital last week after her seizure. And thank you AA for listening to her crazy conure antics over the years and sharing in her amazing life. Here’s some of my favorite pictures of my baby girl. ❤ 8805063E-6D39-42BE-812D-19CD4D8DCB2B.jpeg 5E29CC5F-035E-4A64-8B86-CC24A59557EF.jpeg 749E4DD3-3B9D-44BE-B606-13F0EBFF15E8.jpeg D701A448-F1B6-4043-8389-5C8C5DC28F8C.jpeg

What a blessing to have her at least as long as you did. :bluhug: And I'm glad you and Mimi have each other.

What a cutie she was!:heart: I wish she could have been with you longer.:( She definitely knew how much you loved her, and I’m sure she loved you just as much back.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Yuka. She was clearly loved very much.
As you said, grief is so painful when we lose our loved ones.
I lost my heart bird, Mr Jingles, 18 months ago, after 18 years of love, laughter and friendship. Unfortunately the longing for them, the regrets and huge feelings of loss are a day to day thing.
I have dreamt of him twice since then....he was happy in the trees and he flew over to me.
I know I will see him again in heaven ...they are a part of us and the bond and the love can never be taken away.
You too will carry Yuka in your heart for always. I had a painting done of Jingles ....he looks over me from where he used to sit on his cage.
This forum also helped, and still does help me so much.
Little Yuka certainly was the cutest little girl ...the pictures are just beautiful.
Thinking of you at this sad time x

Thank you for your kind words everyone, it’s still hard for me to come to terms with her not being here but I can feel her in my heart every day.

I decided to try my hand at some art for her and thought I’d share it here. ❤

I miss my little girl so much, but I swear I could feel her right next to me while making this. And I was able to genuinely smile. D23EC096-6759-485E-9D6A-C0FAED3E9F63.jpeg
