CrescendoofPeace - Your story caught my eye, as I raised homing pigeons when I was a kid growing up in L.A., and just like doves, they mate for life. And are so smart and sweet and loyal and funny. I feel your loss and that of dear Zim, and pray he is recovered and healthy, in the company of a new friend. Peace. And by the way... my name is Marcela and I used to post here under udbarflower. Thank you again for your kind comment of support. https://medium.com/@alecramzurc312
