Farewell to a friend

[CynthiaLover]

I regret to inform that, this sad day, my pet cockatiel, Zeru, passed away. He died of a cancerous tumor at the vet last night after we brought him down to be checked out. He was 15 years old. I am, naturally, crushed by the news, but when I saw how badly he was doing yesterday I knew to expect the worst. So I'm doing my best to honor his memory. We are going to get him cremated as a final farewell to him. I'm going to miss the little goofball, no doubt about it, as he was pretty much my constant companion since I got him and since I moved into my own place. But at least he's now at peace and he didn't die in pain. Farwell, Zeru, my little bird buddy. May your soul join the stars as one of them.
