I couldn’t give it up that canary was only living thing that I could connect to, but that didn’t matter to John. He came home and realized I hadn’t gotten rid of the bird and went ballistic. He dropped his things and by the time I realized what he was going for it was too late. He killed it, he killed my last bit of happiness! I was tired of it, and I had a
