We’ve finally had the chance to hold a ‘farewell ceremony’ for Aidan’s beloved budgie ‘Evora’ who flew to heaven a while ago. On that sad night, we had gathered his feathers and put them in an empty cereal box. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find the cereal box (which most likely ended up in the recycle bin by accident), so Lani wrote a letter and a prayer for Evora and put it in a box to bury in our backyard.

I wish I kept a copy of the letter because it was beautifully written and as Aidan mentioned, didn’t say the word ‘death’…

Farewell Evora, our family and your BFF (best feathered friend) Lotus misses you…
