My beloved Nanie had a parakeet, pretty boy was his name. She lived with us until she married her first love, when I was about thirteen.
Her first husband died a month prior to my birth, in his 40's.
She ran into her old flame at the hospital where she worked. His wife has also died, more recently.
He was a little younger. She lived to 99 & he died a few months later.
They had a long rich life, even though they started later ;))

DO SOMETHING!
