There's a mama whale and a baby whale.

There's a mama duck with all her ducklings. Quack, quack, quack.

There's a baby deer drinking milk from her mama...

Today I had to choke back

But, as with all good stories, they must come to an end.

My prayer was that it would be a peaceful end. For all of us.

Thank you, Jesus.
