I am a great Aunt for the first time and got to hold that little tiny baby boy just tonight. I've NEVER held a baby so young...
__
Then, I'm all happy coming home, back to the cabin here... saw two deer crossing the road and slowed down to watch them run up the hill, and a BIG BUCK came flying out onto the hood of my car.
Those of you who know me, know that these babies are like
my kids. I was heartbroken and wanted it to jump up, but it couldn't get up from the ditch and I thought, "it is just stuck in the mud", and stayed with him talking and trying to keep a loving energy with him (and he did stay calm...)
However, story short... a neighbor had to come and "put him to rest", for he had broken his leg.
And I cried and cried. Not ashamed of it - just VERY sad.

So, new life in, another life onto the next plane... such a contrast for me in a very short period of time.
*I am SO sorry Mr. Deer.

*Welcome my great nephew.
I love you both.
Sincerely,
WILDCAT
