Proud "Momj"
There is nothing that could make this mother prouder then to have a little girl who cares about others genuinely. This past Sunday my parents were in town visiting. My dad and Hanna were playing tennis when they came back with an ill bird. Hanna came running to tell me. The little bird was almost lifeless. We started giving it water with a small dropper. It started to perk up. Then we saw that there was a hole where the bird’s food was. My dad cleaned the wound, and we placed the lovely bird in a box covered with a towel. However, not even 30 minutes later, it died. Hanna was already attached to it so she wrote this note for the bird that warmed my heart. Soon we will do our usual ritual and attach the letter to a balloon and send it soaring to Heaven!

Oh that is so precious and so sad! We just found two birds...one tiny naked baby one and an adult seabird...I hope they made it (we gave them to a rescue group)...what's up with birds lately? Poor Hanna, it's always tough to see something die...I still can't handle it...getting a little chocked up as I type...I'm so proud of her!
I know it was sad.
That is so precious. I remember rescueing a chipmunk when I was little and nursing it and then it died and I felt like I'd lost a friend. the thing I remember most was how sweet my mom was about it all, helping to feed it with the dropper and such, you are a great mommy.
What an awesome little goodbye note. Can't wait to have you guys here.
Thanks, Annie! I can't wait to see all of you this summer! I told Dan that I feel like I know Will at least a little after seeing him grow and change on the blog :) But can't wait to see him in person again!
