I was walking downtown on Sunday when I found a bird on the sidewalk. He was clearly yearning for some motherly love, because he let me pick him up and love him for quite some time. I figured he was injured but he showed no signs of pain. Sure enough, once he had stolen all the love his little heart could handle, he flew away. He left my life as fast as he had entered it.
Happy (belated) Mother’s Day! Your children need you more than you know.
