Lovely story- PipSqueak lives on in your heart

This story was very poignant. I think that when we see these lovely little creatures our heart goes out to them and we recognize they are trying to live and make their way in the world just like everyone else. Today I was out walking in my yard and this sweet little chirping song sparrow was hopping around almost at my feet. When spring comes and they all come out to sing and make their nests they seem so hopeful and full of faith for tomorrow. One of the most wonderful characteristics we can have is empathy for our fellow humans and our fellow creatures on this earth. We all can embrace our common connection to life.
