Ray P Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 To day I`m putting Cricket to rest. My wife picked out my favorite t shirt to wrap her in. On the front it said, I Know I`m Not Perfect, but I`m So Close It Scares Me. I wore it for about an hour before I wrapped her in it. RIP my love.

murfchck Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 What a beautiful way to remind Cricket you will be with him on his new journey and to keep him safe and warm. Your a great dad Ray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I know this will be a difficult day for you, having to say goodbye to your love. But know that we will be with you at that exact moment in your heart. Give Cricket a kiss for me & Nilah.....and as far as Cricket was concerned, you were PERFECT to her.

Cabelltech Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 So sorry for your loss! I don't know you at all but I know what it is to love a pet and the gut-wrenching grief that comes along when you lose one. Wish they could be with us forever!

SRSeedBurners Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Such a sweet bird. Love the pictures of her to remember her. I dread losing them and hearing about others losing theirs. They are such sweet beings and represent everything that is good - at least to me they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 She may be gone but never forgotten as the Amazon room is now Cricket's Amazon Room, how fitting that her name graces it as she graced all of us thru Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Ray... I am soo sorry! I'm missing Kiki that I lost last year. I understand how devastated you feel. You gave Cricket the BEST years, and I know she knew that Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I know it is a matter of personal conviction, but I believe our beloved companions will be waiting for us on the other side. When I lose one, I believe the parting is only temporary and they will be waiting for me when I get there! Peace, Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I know Kiki is on the other side. I'm hoping she and Cricket are playing in bird heaven, and Zoey is waiting for them to throw her down a peanut or piece of toast. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inara Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Ray what a beautiful and loving way to lay Cricket to rest. The first feathered love of my life was my 'zon, Elliot. I owe him an incredible debt as he was such a great teacher. When he died I cried harder than at any other time of my life. My own memory of Cricket will be how you described her on your shoulder getting rides to where she wanted to go. I can't help but think that she will still be guiding you. When you feel a little breeze against your cheek or a little flutter in your heart, you will know it is Cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 To have your wife together giving Cricket a touching, loving tribute is a good start to soothing your loss. You both have special memories. Your caring way of sharing your favorite shirt with the spirit of Cricket's perfection brings a smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
