My budgie Taffy, passed away today. He was very old, about 16yrs, he belonged to my parents, but after my Dad passed away 11yrs ago I have looked after him. I feel his death is another bond broken with my Mom & Dad. I am an only child and lost my Mom when I was 36 and my Dad when I was 40.
I think that's why I have so many pets!! I need a "family". My Hubby and only son are all I've got. Sorry to ramble on, but I an so sad.
RIP Taffy.
