I'm so heartbroken about losing my little feathered friend that I don't know what to do with myself. I wrote a memorial of him on my blog today and it felt good to get my thoughts out, but I'd also like something to hang up or put on my desk to remember him by. I was crying this afternoon and wishing that I had a feather or something concrete that I could keep when lo and behold I looked down and saw one by my foot. Any ideas on something I could do? I was thinking I could maybe frame a poem or picture along with the feather. Anything else?
The one good thing that has come of this is that my love for my H has been so renewed. We've always had a great relationship, but I love him more now than I ever have before. He has been so amazing and supportive- he took the day off with me today and has helped me work through my feelings of guilt. He's held me, cried with me, and given me more hugs than I can count.

Re: Ideas?
Ugh, has a fellow feathered friend lover, I feel so badly for you. I had a hard time losing Lousie last week and she was only in my life for 4 months. (((HUGS))) to you.
I love the idea of framing the feather with a quote or poem. Maybe a little collage with the feather, pictures and a quote?
