Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch (Leucosticte tephrocotis) - Revelstoke, BC

My mom passed away peacefully on Dec 23,2021 after a 1 year battle with metastatic breast cancer that spread to her liver and bones. I am still heartbroken to lose her but I am grateful I got to hold her hand as she passed. She was first diagnosed 3 years ago with cancer but after a 2 year battle it turned metastatic and things got aggressive, very quick, despite relentless invasive treatments (surgery, multiple bouts of IV chemo, radiation, trial drugs). I am so sad that my mom didn’t make it to Christmas and the New Year. She supported me and my love of birds and everything that my sister and I did. May she now rest with the angels. I wish you all my best wishes for 2022. Rest In Peace Mom. I carry your heart with me.
