Nina, You always say the right thing!! I take inspiration whenever I read your posts..... Your story about the little bird brought back a "bitter sweet" moment I had, years ago, when I lost my Bear to AIHA... I remember "watching" this little bird make her nest, & waited, w/ anticipation for the eggs to hatch... The afternoon I returned from vet, after having lost my baby, I sat, tearfully on my porch. Crying my eyes out, just "not understanding" why/how I lost my Bear..... It made no sense & I was totally devastated!! When, lo & behold..... Just when I was at the utmost moment of despair - the eggs hatched!!! Words can't explain the joy I felt at that exact moment... I just remember thinking," One life ends, another one begins". I was SO comforted at that moment. And, thankfully, it's a memory that hasn't been lost. Whenever I lose a furbaby, I "try" to remember that moment, for comfort. It's never easy....... But at least I have "that" memory to take comfort in.... Hugs, Patti & her gang
