I was so relieved this story ended as it did. I was feeling the guilt and sorrow all the way over here. Thank you for sharing this story of desperation with its happily ever after resolution.

I breathed the deepest sigh of relief at the end! I deeply enjoyed this conversational piece -- I felt like I was sitting at your kitchen table listening to you tell me this story.

I'm so glad I discovered that you are writing here, CJ (and that I've heard you enough at LWS open-mic to be able to 'hear it' in your voice as I'm reading).

This is filled with your characteristic humour and insight and tenderness: such a joy to read that I want to savour it before turning to the previous posts.

Thank you, Ant; that means a lot coming from you. It's been awhile since we found ourselves in the same Break out or Open Mic and was so lovely to see you at the Social. Following you back and looking forward to reading more of your brilliant writing. Hugs!

Thank you, Russell. When/if I grow up I want to be as good a writer (and musician) as you!

Just lovely, CJ. I am so glad there was a happy ending. I could just imagine you lying awake thinking of those mother-less baby birds. Your photos are magnificent.
