Lauren has been wanting a bird. She spent weeks researching on parakeets. Online, books...weeks, my friends. She wanted to be prepared. So we decided that a feathery friend would be her gift from Mama and Daddy for her birthday. We made it a family affair and she picked out the most adorable and friendly birdie. She was on CLOUD 9. Pure happiness. Big watermelon smiles. Joy. Joy.
She was in love and took such good care of Dorie.
Four days later, all of a sudden something happened overnight...and she died. We have NO idea what happened. After a call to a vet, apparently parakeets are very fragile animals. After weeks of preparation and falling madly in love with Dorie, her time was cut short.
Omygoodness, my heart broke along with Lauren's.
She is such a sweetheart of a sensitive soul, so the tears dropped heavily along with her heart.
Watermelon birthday helped the heavy heart and heavy tears.
so did sweet gift helpers
things to create with...
big sister squeezes...
a beautiful gold necklace from grandma/grandpa...
All is going to be okay.
