April

The first two things that  I loved about you was your snow-white color and your orange beak. I remember the number of people who had come to my room to see my new birds which were a gift from a kind friend and how much everybody had turned their attention towards you my April. April. You were named after the birth month of the friend who gave you to me and your companion Jan was named after me. How fond I was ! How much I loved you!

You were a real fighter April. A soldier. You have been ill for days and in spite of all the illness, you have have been cheerful and full of life radiating a lot of joy around yourself. When I checked on you the night before I realized that something was seriously wrong because you weren't able to perch properly and something was wrong with your feet too. I was scared that you would die. I tried touching you with a pencil just to see if you were doing fine but still you wouldn't budge whereas ordinarily you would fly away to the top of the cage if I came anywhere near your cage!

I am going to miss you a lot April. Jan is already lonely without you. How I wish you did not have to leave the both of us! I love you a lot little birdie. I hope someday soon I will be able to hear the noise of your chirp awakening me early in the morning and the shadow of your wings on the walls before going to sleep. Rest in Peace.
