One year ago today, my little Rockstar flew away. 🌈

I still miss your little songs, my sweet Kiwi, and how you loved listening to me sing. You never talked back, never gave me attitude, and were wonderfully low-maintenance. 😂❤️

Two weeks ago, your big feathers unexpectedly found their way back to me, tucked inside a jewellery box I had almost forgotten about. I had carefully kept them when I said goodbye to you. Finding them again brought back so much love and a little sadness too.

I felt happy and sad all at once. Happy to have found something so precious, and sad that you are no longer here.

Life has been busy, and I haven’t painted you yet. But you have never been forgotten.

Fly free, my sweet songbird. Until we meet again. 💚🎶

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever Mom’s Favourite Child. 🐦👑❤️
