For the Birds in a Gesture of Remembrance and Empathy

Sue's sister, Heather, suddenly lost her five-year-old daughter 29 years ago. Heather, who lives in Toronto, decided to see if she could find birds to feed as a quiet way to reflect and experience some joy on this day. She has a spot where the birds are quite habituated and will come to the hand to feed. Alas, it was a brutally windy day in Toronto, and the birds were hunkering down.

 

Meanwhile, Sue, in a gesture of empathy, spread seeds for the birds in a little woodland nearby to us. Across the miles, the sisters, in some way, shared a time of remembrance.
