Its hard to believe that the necklace my mother gave me 8years ago is broken by the only bird in the whole wide world that I love so much - my cloudy. 8 years ago when my mother gave me white gold necklace with a pearl pendent, since that day I had worn it and not once ever remove it. Not for showers, or when I went for my massages, even when I got married!! It had always been on my neck, because it made me feel my mother is always with me no matter where I go!!
It kind of became my lucky charm...but yesterday my bird - broke it by biting over it. I did not realize because I was asleep, while he kept munching on it like a cheese cake!!!
I am not upset at my bird, I love him so much but I am really sad, he is the CULPRIT!
Now I feel empty and I keep touching my neck because I feel something is missing.
It had NOT EVEN ONCE been off .. I feel really sad!!
Have you ever been parted with the only one thing you held so close?

Hi bamboee,
Sad to hear about this news that the neckles given by ur mom had been broken by your lovely bird. Don't woory try to rebuild that neckle in some good shops. I hope there are few Jewellery shops who do this kind of activities.
I too had exprience many such things. When I was studying my school days I used to play lots and lots of cricket, so my father bought me a cricket bat. i loved that bat very much. Once during my exam day I went to ground and played cricket the whole day, seeing this my mother get angry and burnt that bat infront of me. I cried alot at that day. Imagining that incident I laughing now.

Hello Yaso,
I can imagine what you must be feeling when your mother burnt your bat. It must be really sad, but I am glad you got over it and now the whole incident is very funny!! :D
that necklace really meant alot to me, I have given it to my mother to fix it. She was surprised seeing it off my neck but then she said dont worry, she will get it fixed.
Thanks for your nice response,
I feel so much better.
I hope one day I will look back and laugh to!
Cheers.

It's sad to hear about it. However, it's not yet the end of the world, is it? :) You can still bring it to a jewelry shop for repair. Maybe it will still look as it has not gone broken. I can't remember a precious thing just like yours,that parted from me. I hope it won't happen to me. Happy mylotting!

Hi dear..
Now, i got it. I think something different prior to reading this one. Well, Cloudy was hungry i think and thats why he tried to munch. As you have said that you have not removed it ever, then how he got the chance to break, did it happen when you were sleeping and cloudy did his job while in your neck? oh, when you sleep, you should keep him on a safe place there danger may come to cloudy on your absence, right? i can feel how your condition would be if something happens that way. So you need to be more sincere with cloudy.
sorry for your lost and i am seeing that necklace on your profile picture.
have a nice time.

Hello Dear,
Well cloudy was not hungry, that is his habit of munching and eating anything and everything he finds. He is like a bulldozer in my house, he just rips of everything that he finds fascinating. I dont say much to him because the things he rips of are not that important, like paper, caps and things like that.
My bedroom is the safest place of all for cloudy. He has his favorite spot on the denim bottle where he relaxes and looks at himself in the mirror and talks to his imaginary friend. He goes in the cage at his own wish - i dont force him in. There is no sharp objects of secret places where he can go, so I can fall asleep without any tension.
Well he wanted my attention, and so he sat on my neck while I was sleeping. I was not feeling well and had some medicine, that is why I could not feel him at all. He did his job and flew away and sat on his favorite spot like a innocent little baby.
I am very sincere to him that is the reason why I never said anything or even changed my attitude towards him. I did tell him how much that necklace meant to me, and I guess he felt bad..
I hope I can get it fixed as soon as possible, without it I am really incomplete.
Thanks for your comforting response, and being so considerate about cloudy.
"hugs".
Cheers

Hello Kalyni,
Thanks alot for your nice response. Awwww I can imagine what you must have felt when you lost the parker pen. It must be really sad, specially given by your hubby. It must be so special to you. I hope your hubby gave you something even more precious.
I have given the chain to my mom, so I hope she fixes it and gives it back to me soon.
I just miss it so much.
Take care dear,
Cheers.

Hello Bamboee... I am sorry, have you brought it to a jeweler to fix it ? How come you did not feel it when your bird messed it, eh ? I bet you were so sleepy :).
Well I've never been parted with my favourite things so far, but I can feel what you feel. Hope your necklace can be fixed for you :)

Hello Cute Zaahro,
well I gave it to my mom to fix it for me. Well I had taken some medication so I was really into deep sleep, he did his job while sitting on my neck. He is very clever and very naughty.
But its okay, he was just playing..
I hope you never get parted with your favorite thing, its very painful.
THanks alot for ur response.
Cheers.

i'm sorry to hear that my friend, Maybe it could still be fixed or something. You treasured that so much, because your mother gave it to you, and you wore it for 8 years without removing. Wow. But i wonder how did your lovely bird munch on your necklace? was he out of the cage or something? Well, anyways, I've also treasure things that is given to me, and i also feel sad if they got broke or lost. I can't sleep or i can't eat if that happens. But, what i do, is just accept it and just treasured it in my heart.

Hello Tatzkie,
Thank you for your lovely response. Well my Cloudy has the freedom to fly around the house. He goes back in his cage when he has to eat and sleep. But when he is in the playful mood, he is jumping from one corner to the other. Most of the times playing with my perfume bottles as they seem like huge towers to him!!..
I was really sleepy because of medication, and he has very sharp beak. He munches and eats almost anything!! So the necklace was the victim this time and he good time munching on it as I was sleep for atleast 2 hours.
He is very naughty but he is my everything too, so I am not mad at him.
But surely for 8 years that necklace had been on my neck 24/7 - day and night. So Its difficult for me, I am not being myself anymore. I feel so incomplete. I have given my mom to repair it, but I feel really sad that it got off my neck after 8 years.
I hope you never part from your favorite thing.
Cheers.
