I have
read with interest some of the wonderful animal stories on
Tapestry. I never thought I would be able to contribute,
since losing my two wonderful cats many years ago was so
painful, I decided I could not own another pet and go
through so much pain again. I am sorry also that I could not
relive the pain by writing the story dear. I am sure many of
your members will be able to relate to my feelings.
However
Carol there has been a 'happening' (for want of knowing what
to call it.) this past two weeks that I would like to share
with you all. It begins with a much beloved pet Parrot,
which belonged to my son in law's sister. She had owned the
parrot for many years and was devoted to him. Two years ago
Shirley was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer and passed away
aged 49 yrs. The parrot was 'adopted' by Shirley's brother
and his wife who also lived in London. UK. a few months
later they moved to a small seaside town in Kent more than
seventy miles from their home in London.
Sadly as
they were cleaning the parrots cage one day, it got out and
flew away. Despite all efforts Parrot was lost and their
hearts were heavy, as the bird was a 'close link' to their
late sister.
Just two
weeks ago, two months after losing the parrot, an aunt
living in London, contacted them to say she had found a
parrot in her garden, which was just a block away from their
old address. Hardly daring to hope they made their way to
aunties house! Sure enough it was Shirley's parrot!!! He
had found his way 'home' after two months searching. Not
finding Shirley, he had found her Auntie!!!!. How I love a
story with a happy ending.
I Hope
reading this helps to 'lift your day for you.
