The same day I cracked my iPad (Broken Up But Still Together) we had Piper’s annual checkup with his avian vet scheduled for that evening. As I attempted to calm myself down about the damage to my device I referenced the upcoming appointment to myself. The good outcome of the day had to be Piper’s health and not a piece of technology.
At the visit, after coaxing Piper onto the scale with a favorite toy and his textbook landings on the doctor’s, the tech’s, my husband’s and my heads in an attempt to avoid the towel in which he is wrapped to be examined, we received the fantastic news that he is one healthy parrot. Although we hadn’t any concerns, we let out breaths we didn’t even know we were holding.
My Apple devices keep me connected to a world I am not currently fully a part of, but Piper brought me back to life after I lost my sight, three months after adopting him. He needed me and showed me that he didn’t care if I could see or not, he just wanted a forever mommy. His health and happiness are paramount.
Technology can be shattered. But the bond this little guy and I share is unbreakable.
