I never had children, but did have pet parrots. Unfortunately and tragically, I lost my last parrot about four years ago.

My husband and I did have a song for one, but I can not remember it. That saddens me, greatly. I was so devastated when I lost my most recent guy and right now I can barely think straight. I feel so overwhelmed in so many ways that it is affecting me cognitively.

I would like a cat very badly! Not another parrot because of the deep pain from the loss. I need another affectionate being. I feel deprieved now.
