It seems a long time ago; but, almost two years ago, I lost my beautiful Scarlet Macaw, Savannah. She hated everyone in the world but me, and her bonding to me was special. At my age, it would be selfish to replace her, even though I love the beauty of the Scarlets. Of course, losing a pet is nothing like losing a spouse or significant other. But, both losses can be opportunities for us to recognize that everyone and everything dies, sooner or later. It serves no rational purpose to waste valuable time being immobilized by it. I find joy in her memory, and in the memory of my lost spouse, and am busy making new happy memories. What are you doing with your life?
