Sweetie and I need Moral Support and Prayer

[Pete Jasinski]

I'm soooo sorry for your loss! The pain you are feeling must be tremendous, I'm crying myself after reading your story. Sweetie is flying around Heaven with my Max and Ernie having a grand old time! Just be strong because Sweetie would want it that way. God bless you all! Sweetie will be watching over you!

Ohhhh Victoria,

I am so very, very sorry our blessed little Sweetie is gone. I wish I could find the words to convey my feelings right now. I know how deeply you and your husband loved Sweetie, and I wish I could somehow make it all better for you.
Pete, you're not alone .. I'm sobbing here right now.

Sweetie has gone over the Rainbow Bridge, where skies are always clear, food is plentiful, and she is safe. She will wait patiently until it's your turn to cross, then she will fly immediately to your loving arms.

Victoria ~ I am very, very sorry that your beloved Sweetie is gone. When I learned of her loss, I cried & cried. The extraordinary efforts you & your husband went to, in order to protect & care for Sweetie, did not go unnoticed by the Lord. You will be rewarded for caring so lovingly for one of His sweet creatures. Try to take comfort in knowing that Sweetie is now in total peace & happiness. Victoria, you will see Sweetie again. May God bless you & your husband with peace, & give you strength through this sorrowful time. I will continue to remember you in my prayers.
Please take care of yourselves.

Dear Victoria,

This is very sad news.... I'm so sorry for you loss.

I know exactly how you feel as my own beloved pet pigeon Tooty passed away in 2002 and it still hurts thinking about it but in time you will feel better as I did, God willing. Now I can accept it much easier knowing that there is a reason for every cause and when God decides it's time to take the soul of one of his creation then this is from his wisdom.

I hope that you and your husband are well and I know you know that dear sweetie will be going to a better place..

Take care and remember we are here for you ...

When you lose a member of your family, it can be one of the most painful moments in life. When you don't have a whole lot to begin with, and must seek shelter in a nearby church, this loss is even more painful.

I hope you are able to find some small measure of comfort, knowing that many of us understand your pain from your loss. Your act of kindness, and the respect you demonstrated for this bird, will not be forgotten.

God Bless You

Hello Victoria,
How are you doing? We haven't heard from you in a few days, I'm hoping you don't leave us for good. I know you're going to need lot's of time to heal your heart and soul and the pain will never fully leave but don't forget us because we certainly won't forget you.
Stay strong,
Pete

[Sweetie]

I am feeling a little better. I had a whole lot of food left that I had for Sweetie. It was going to last her until the summer. She was set on food for a while. Now she is gone. I decided to feed the pigeons that I see every day
on the lamp post in the parking lot of the grocery store. Monday, I went to the lamp post where these pigeons were and I started to talk to them. They were not looking at me. Then I placed the food on the pavement by the snow bank, surrounding the lamp post that they were perching on. They didn't go down to eat it right away. So I went to the library. My husband and I had a ride back from the library to the church. On the way back, my husband stopped at the grocery store to get dinner. I was curious if the pigeons ate the food I gave them. Our friend Mike drove his car near the place that I had placed the food, and there was not a trace of food left. That night I dreamed that I saw Sweetie again, but the scenery changed. I dreamed that I was feeding the pigeons. I turned to leave and the pigeons started to flap their wings and follow me. I dreamed they followed me all the way to the community college. Then that was when I woke up. It was to me a great dream and I was sorry to wake up before it was finished. Tuesday, I went to feed the pigeons that were on the same lamp post and I decided to place the food on the snow bank because I thought it was a safer place and they wouldn't get hit by parking cars. I talked with them and some were watching and looking at me this time. This morning when I fed the pigeons most of them were at a different lamp post so I went to that lamp post and fed those pigeons on that lamp post on the snow bank, then I went back inside the store to get some free coffee. Then I saw some on the lamp post where I started to feed the pigeons on Monday and Tuesday, and I decided to feed these pigeons also. When I went out there this time the pigeons were watching me eagerly waiting for me to place their food on the snow bank. They were pacing around on the lamp post. I then turned around to leave. I went back into the store to get my stuff and I turned around and I saw the beautifuleast sight I ever saw. The pigeons were fluttering to the snow bank one by one so gracefully and they all were eating the seed. I asked my husband if we could walk by and see them and we did. The pigeons were enjoying the food I gave them. There were at the time four
pigeons eating. I hope I gave them enough food. Maybe my dream is coming true. Who knows.

Thank you, Victoria.
You made all those sweet starved pigeons happy. I am sure they appreciate it and they will recognize you from now on every time you go there.

[Pete Jasinski]

Good to hear from you Victoria!
They say time heals all wounds, I hope they're right whoever they are.
In time they will come to recognize you and fly down to greet you when they see you coming. I'm sure they appreciate you sharing Sweeties seed with them, especially this time of the year! Your dream will come true very soon, they'll sense you have a good heart and good intentions and will make you an honorary flock member. Here are my loves coming down to greet me in the morning, they look like little angels descending from heaven.
Bye for now,
Pete

I tried to enlarge it for you, tell me what you think. I hope it turned out. I wanted to thank you so I enlarged your picture so you can have a 8 x 10 or a little larger picture. If this didn't work, I would like to get this to you so you
can have it framed.

Thank you,

It didn't work. Drats. I have this enlargement that I like to send you, but the computer that I am on doesn't have the program that your picture was on. I really wanted to give this to you.

Victoria, if you go regularly to feed the pigeons at the same place, they will wait for you and fly behind, and around you, like in your dream. You will find a new happiness in memory of Sweetie
