birdy soon flies Home

We went to the vet yesterday. The Lady and OM had a long talk with her about me. The vet listened to my lungs and could tell that I am having to work very hard to move air, and suggested it was time. She told the Lady we could do it then or take a few days. The Lady decided to take a few days.
Here I am, sending you love. 

Last November my Lady wrote a novel titled The Reunion Song. Right before she met me. In the book, the Reunion Song is sung in a place named Home. People and all kinds of animals live there, and they sing this song to help all of us come Home. Someone there is always singing the song. The Lady sang the song to me and now I can hear them singing to help me fly Home. I want you to hear the song too. It goes like this:
‘We are singing the Reunion Song. The Song goes like this: Here we are, we’ve always been here. All are welcome. All are loved. Welcome Home. Welcome. You are loved.  This goes on. This never stops. We are singing now, the Reunion Song.’
Thank you, everyone who helped me. Thank you, my Lady for loving me and giving me my home. Thank you everyone for all your love. And thank you now for helping me fly Home. I will never forget you. I love you. Your Bird. 

Here I am, on my way Home.

  5. Oh my. What a lovely song for you and all those who have traveled before you and will travel after your journey. We've laughed and cried at all the sweetness your Kind and Loving Lady has given us in this blog. You have both certainly brought each other so much joy. You have both been so courageous. Your wonderful Mom has given your the best months a girl could have and you in turn have done the same for her. We who have followed your story will miss you but know we will carry you in our hearts forever. Travel safely sweet girl!

  14. Dear Anneke,

    I just learned that your name means "gracious, graceful"; how perfect.

    Thank you for all your grace and graciousness in sharing Birdy's journey. Your blog has brought me joy for months, and you are a hero to so many.

    Anneke, please be softly cradled in our love as you take Birdy on her final flight. We love you.

    Birdy, I have many pets eagerly waiting to meet you at the Rainbow Bridge. Someday I will meet you there myself and I look forward to it.

Thank you for bringing joy and laughter into my life with your sweet blog. I am so glad to have found you in the blog world. Much love and many prayers for your lady. I hope she knows how amazing she is :)
