And So Am I - Still Here, Still Me
|
Henrietta Hoots |
My little burrowing owl friend has stuck around. She prowls about at night but almost everyday since she arrived, she has been outside my living room window. I hadn't seen her in a while because I was away working in Miami for a week and then working sunup to sundown on the weekends and then back to Miami for a couple of days. I worried maybe she had found a mate and started a burrow and moved on.
So when I saw Henrietta today, looking at me with those big eyes, turning her head sideways and paying attention to my movements and words to her, it made me smile, and I thought "Hey, I'm still here too."
I've hung on and I'm here and I'm going to be fine.
