Alone

You will be alone within a short time.  It will start with the death of the bird.
 
And so it goes.  The words above were given  to me six months before my husband died.  Back then I had a bird, a dog, a husband, my father.  All of us were happy.  Then the bird died and my husband followed within months.  Then the dog died a few months later.  And finally my father only his death is not a physical one.
So, I'm alone.  Not lonely, but the prophesy has been fulfilled.  I can literally feel the emptyness in the house.  This inspite of my new pet bird.
