Oh god. You destroyed me a little bit with this one. Tender hearts. I hope your little bird's return to the earth was gentle on you both.

We all need to hold and be held at times...thank you for holding this sweet bird. And letting her hold a bit of your heart, and ours.

I have no words to say, except thank you for sharing this. Your words have moved me in a way I didn't except and will now have to ponder. I hope your bird found her peace.

Thank you. The bird ended up with a name (Cassie) and she had a good burial in the garden 🤍

Thank-you for these beautiful words and comments on the human experience. Yours and your grandmas. Sleep tight little bird 😞✨🌳

Read 1st thing this morning before coffee. Tears. I have handled so many birds in my life—mostly to rescue them from being trapped inside a house, a classroom, and even a cat’s mouth (it flew safely away). Sadly, some have hit windows in our house and have had to be taken to an avian rescue center for evaluation. Thank you for this. It’s touched me greatly.
