I didn't think I would be crying at 7am reading a story about a baby bird, but here I am 😭 Mesa this is such a tender, beautiful story. The depth in what you wrote, the connections between the story of the bird, you childhood, you now... thank you for this. šŸ¤

What a sweet young girl you were šŸ’•šŸ’•šŸ’• I once saw a bird fly into a window at university campus I attended. I picked it up to help but it died in my hand. I was 20. I broke my heart and I cried. I rooted for the tiny bird and I root for you 😘

Beautiful and poignant, Mesa. I felt such sadness for the little bird and young you trying to save it. Our world is blessed to have you and your full heart in it.

I tried rescuing so many abandoned kittens when I lived in Jakarta and it broke my heart every time one didn't make it. But the three I still have with me are thriving, so it was totally worth it!
