Hi everyone,
I have some news. Of course, Dave and I have had numerous conversations about our situation. He had initially agreed to keep two and when I decided to send them all to Anna for now. And I am glad I did. To make alot of conversations/stories short...I get to keep 3. Anna has decided that she loves Benny for herself and there is no way I could deny him of her and her family. This way, I can leave all three of the girls out in the aviary all day and let them get some of that energy out. Dave realized the deep, deep committment and love I have for my fids. And he told me that he did not want to see me unhappy. He realizes his anger is misdirected and he is willing to re-commit permanantly to the three girls. We have some ideas for easing the noise but he realizes Dolly is only doing her natural behaviors and calling me. He realizes the sacrifice I made for him and he is willing to make a sacrifice for me. WE realize that what we are missing is God in our lives and the peace in our hearts we used to have.
A couple of years ago, we were successfully sued. It forced us to bankruptcy. We lost our entire retirement and now work for other people instead of owning our own business. It has taken its toll on us. Both of us went in different directions. He lost his patience with everything and nearly everyone. I lost my comfortable living and worry-free life that we enjoyed.
But looking at the big picture now, we know we are not bankrupt. We are rich. We have the ability to sort things out, compromise and love and grow. We have a house, kids in college and meet our bills. We have great kids, great family (including HB) and we are able to recognize our weaknesses. We recognize that we have each other and there's no price tag on him or my kids -or my birds for that matter.
He's back. If you could only see, meet or know him....you'd know like I do. You'd know he is a kind, kind soul and we just had to be reminded I guess -of what matters.
Now you have the whole story...most of it anyway.
I believe in Dave and I believe in our marriage....more now than ever.
Anna- You wait until I get there!!!! I will probably hug you to death!
The fids will never have any idea how they have impacted my marriage. Funny what they can do:glare: to us humans...;)
I hope that you all understand how embarrassing it could be to air this out right here...but I am not embarrassed. I truly feel like I am among family and none of you have judged me. There is something about bird people... I wish there were millions more of us.
