The circle of life. (warning)

[Emma&pico]

Thank you my dear. That chapter in my life is over. So many things are different now. It's not just the birds. I try to stay positive but it's very difficult. I love you all.

I hope you get some positive things coming your way positive things you want and deserve

Hey, John. Just got back from visiting family in Ohio. For Thanksgiving. When I got home after being away for two nights, and was greeted my birds, I suddenly began thinking of you. Then I began thinking of all the things I'm grateful for. I'm grateful you were a member of the Avenue when I joined. I'm thankful that your posts were always direct, honest and to-the-point, yet they were never mean or judgemental. I'm thankful for all the advice and knowledge you shared. I'm thankful for all the photos you shared. I'm thankful for all the things I learned from you. I'm thankful that you taught me how to see things through my bird's eyes. I'm thankful that I got to know you even just a little over the last 7 and a half years. And I'm mad as hell that this happened to you. My heart breaks for you.

So glad I popped in and saw your gratitude post. I have the same thankfulness for John and all the years he contributed to the forum. Very well missed but knowing you are still out there in the universe is comforting in its own way. Though... what I wouldn't give for a healthy dose of "Johnitude" to warm my heart. Love you John... blessings, hugs, and the fortitude to carry on with strength.

Hate it when I do a boo boo headed post. So I'm pasting my reply to Alien J to make sure it doesn't get missed by John...

Your birds are beautiful. I’m so sorry about the accident that happened. Your grief must have been very great. But I hope that you have healed now and I hope you look back on the times and memories and good times you have given your babies. They might be flying in heaven now, but they are watching you with their little pin eyes as you live life day to day. I hope you have a good day.
