I just got an email from Patti that prompted me to call her. Seems her computer has been down and she has not been able to post here. The email from her was done through her phone, but what she said was very sad.
I called and confirmed, and she asked me to let you know that Cosmo her baby ekkie boy, is at the Rainbow Bridge. She hadnt told her kids yet, because it just happened. She is very upset, and understandably so. The Drs are doing a necropsy and when Patti gets back on line she will be back on here to visit with us. Please say a prayer for her, and her family. Cosmo was her only boy, and only Feathered baby.
Rest in Peace Cosmo, you were very loved, and always will be.

I'll lend you, for a little while, a bird of mine," He said.
"For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he is dead.
It may be six or seven years, or maybe twenty-three,
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, as all from Earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there I want this bird to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in my search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love - not think this labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call, to take him back again.
I fancied that I heard them say, 'Dear Lord, thy will be done.'
For all the joy this bird shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shower him with tenderness and love while we may,
And for the happiness we've known, forever-grateful stay.
And should the angels call for him much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand."
