The 13 baby ducklings that hatched July 4th have been adopted and have gone to another home. My heart aches.
Although there are not ample words to describe the connection I felt with them – I think photos and videos might best describe their innocent journey into my heart.
Is there anything more precious than assisting new life coming into the world – and showing them the “ropes”? Taking on the role of mom with a different species has its rewards, no doubt – but the connection is beyond anything I’ve experienced. It is similar (or so I’m told) to having your own child – they rival dependence, love, need, and a deep closeness that any new mother’s experience can attest.
However, sadly, the loss is great as well.
My babies found their forever home with a wonderful family who can provide for them in ways that I couldn’t. But I’ll never stop loving them.
