It is with the heaviest of heart that I mourn the loss today of my most beloved friend, Calypso. This little white angel, as my grandma would call her, passed this morning at the avian and exotic animal hospital. She put up quite a fight but unfortunately, I received the call from the dr that she didn't make it. I have my other babies comforting me, as they can tell I'm utterly devestated. I don't know how to handle the emptiness my heart and room now feel. I've had Calypso for 7 years, almost 8. I fell in love as I watched them hand rear her from the egg. I took her home the moment she was able to leave the breeder. Her enormous personality and unconditional heart quickly swallowed me whole. Not a single day or night didn't go by that we weren't together. If I was feeling blue, she wouldn't leave my side. At nights, she would come sleep on my hand in front of my face. It was the most comforting thing for me.
I know that taking her in was the right thing to do yesterday, but I feel enormous pain that I was not there with her in her last moments, when she would always be there for me.
I feel so blessed that I was able to share the years we did, I only wish we'd had longer. A person told me "everything dies" and that's why they do not attach themselves to animals, yet with the pain I feel now, I wouldn't trade the last 7 years for anything.
