Blockchain-Tribute: RIP My Dear Godchicken, Peter Parker
Not long ago, I wrote... My godchicken, Peter Parker, and his mom, @lyndsaybowes.
His death
This week, after hearing from @lyndsaybowes, I texted my husband...
She informed me that my dear godchicken, Peter Parker, succumbed to his injuries and passed away this week. I think his beauty was a threat that fanned the flames of murderous envy of his father, Mr. Pendock. My guess is Mr. Pendock couldn't stand the fact that @lyndsaybowes and hens considered Peter Parker, "Our Champion (of cuteness) Rooster".
Sweet Eddie Bowes even made Peter Parker his own hospital room so he could be heal in peace.
After Peter Parker's passing, Eddie made a tombstone and arranged a burial in the flower forest.
His life
Peter Parker had a will to live. In this post, you can read about how he almost died once as chick yet recovered enough to attempt his first crow.
Yes, Peter Parker's life was cut short. For being a rooster, yet he made quite an impact, at least for me, the Bowes' family and this blockchain. Anyone who follows @lyndsaybowes know how much Peter Parker and the other chickens, along with Eddie and her other human kids are recurring characters that juxtaposed Lyndsay's wonderfully scenic and tranquil "Walk with Me" Series with a beehive of activity.
I was also touched to see that another Steemian @donnadavisart created a beautiful painting of my dear godchicken... My painting as a surprise for @lyndsaybowes her rooster: Peter Parker

Finally, with all the activity going on in my life, I have much to post about yet it's been more than two weeks since I have had time to post. Peter Parker's death was a reminder that today is a gift so I thought, what a great reason to post again with the intent to let you, my dear Steem family, know that you matter to me. I really appreciate the friends I have made and have yet to make on Steem.
Lots of love,
@karencarrens
I too was very saddened to hear this news. Through her posts @lindsaybowes has introduced him and somehow he has managed to creep into our hearts. I know he was special and also that you had a special bond with him.
Thank you @gabbingster for your sweet comment. I loved getting updates about Peter Parker from @lyndsaybowes. @lyndsaybowes has a way of drawing us in on her walks. 😍
Oh, poor Peter Parker! My condolences to all. 💚
RIP Peter, with all the heavenly #chickenbitchez in that big coop in the sky. 😢
I know, @phoenixwren! Absolutely with #chickenbitchez flying high!
I decided to check in on you and seen a recent post after a little while.
This is sad news to see as a new recent post from you but had a great message in the end.
Hey there @bitcoinparadise! Always happy to see you! And yes, while I'll truly miss seeing all the posts about my feathered friend, the message at the end was in fact the main point I hoped to convey. Thanks for catching it! 😊
Rest In Peace Peter Parker. Do take care
Awwww! Thanks @funkylove.
R.i.p. Peter Parker. Aww poor little chicken. That's too bad.
I'm just glad he's in 🐓 heaven. 💕
This is a sweet tribute to a beautiful Roo! Awe 😢 i can't believe he's gone so fast. That pecking order is no joke. RIP PP 🖤
I know @yogajill! ... Just old enough to crow... yet, not strong enough to survive a pummeling by the older bird. 😧 Thanks for your kind words!
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your chicken. It’s amazing what an impact he had on so many. It’s great that you all have pictures and stories about him for memory~ ❤️
So sweet of you to say that, @crosheille! ...Peter Parker, forever crows on the Steem blockchain. 😍
Yes he will! 😊
Thank you so much for creating this Karen, it's really beautiful...
This was not fair at all...you loved him and were such a caring Godparent to him... :'( :'( :'( I still got no words, can't believe he didn't make it. He was always such a trooper and fought against the odds before :'( :'(
Of course @lyndsaybowes, I made this #blockchain-tribute for all of us.
It has been so fun to follow along with your Peter Parker adventures. So to hear this news, but glad that you can celebrate life (even that of a chicken). Glad your human friends love you enough to bring you so much joy.
LOL. I gotta say, I wouldn't have been able to keep track of my sweet godchicken if it weren't for @lyndsaybowes keeping me up to date on his life. And, yes... you, of course, are one I consider a dear friend!
He was beautiful!! Wow! So sorry to hear that his father did this to him! Glad that he received a proper burial.
Hi, apanamama! How are you? He was a cutie pie, huh? Strangely colorful. He looked like a painting.
He was very colorful!!
