GOODBYE, LITTLE GUY.....


Goodbye, Little guy…. that was the phrase that I already expected to hear. Though I didn’t want to hear it, many times I think of the possibility that this little guy would pass away. So sad to know but he already passed away. I wasn’t very affected during the first stage of his suffering ‘cause I know he would live longer and be well but things turned out to be the opposite…. During his last moments, I saw him with his little friend helping him out. I know that she also doesn’t want to lose someone very special and very close to her. She helped him wipe his nose, a nose full of misery and a nose that would lead him to rest forever…. Well now, I think it was the sickness that led him to such state of being. When I saw his little friend doing that, I knew she was crying, I think, because she was twisting her head left and right like when we are wiping our tears with our sleeves. She knew that her little friend would be gone anytime during the day and because of that she did everything she thought would help to comfort and please her friend. It was the nicest thing to do as a friend.

I was watching the television that time and I felt I should look on the sick guy. When I saw him her friend was already mourning for her friend. Unfortunately, he didn’t close his eyes anymore. Yes he didn’t close his eyes and at that moment I knew he was already with the Lord. Wanna know who and what this little guy is? He’s a bird particularly a lovebird.

They touched me for I know they are only birds but now I think they are more than birds because of what they showed to me. I was a witness of their friendship though it was only for a short time but in that limited time they shared true friendship with each other. They lived life full of meaning and of course, LOVE.

I hope all of us will always remember that not only us have feelings but also animals especially the “little ones”.
