Great story, Robin. It makes me wonder how many times I missed the wisdom from animal encounters in the past because I didn't take the time to reflect on them like you have. Thank you for sharing your story.

My wife served as the primary caregiver for her mom during a devastating cancer battle. Your observations of a similar situation in your life watching a daughter give so much love to her Mom really struck a chord with me. And, it’s so comforting to know these great spirits are out there guiding us through the beauty of nature. Looking forward to reading more of your work.
