I feel your pain 10000%, me soul is tortured as to what I have done. On October 13, 2024 a beautiful little sweet mourning dove walked I to my house and basically did want to leave, even though she could fly away She would come back. I keep hear in the house because She did not want to be in a cage.. so she basically was roaming about the house as she pleased, she just wanted to be near my mother and I always. I would constantly put her up in high places for fear of my dog getting hear or of us stepping on her. And well Unfortunately this past Saturday
December 21st I was doing things in the house getting ready for the Holidays and the sweet angel was in the kitchen on the Christmas mat I have to stand on to do dishes and I went to the sink to wash my hands and I had no idea the beautiful sweet soul was laying right there ! Right on the mat.!!! ! accidentally steped on her ! I hear her sweet little bones crack; I was in a state of shock!! I picked the beautiful soul up and she looked at me with her beautiful little black eye one last time and then her little head just dropped into my hands and I knew it was over ! The guilt I feel is overwhelming! I simply adored this sweet love and I was so honered to have has her come into my life. She was the sweetest little soul l ever met. I will miss her presence and I don’t think I am forgive myself for being so careless and not have her in a cage. It will haunt me forever
