I also wish it would have been a better clearer shot but they all keep moving so fast and I had the speed set as high as it would go. Too fast and you lose some detail or contrast and color and such as you know.

Thanks and I fed them for 6 months until they got big and healthy. This was the best brood in that about 9 of them made it to adulthood, where usually predators get all of them before they get grown up. I had a helping hand there, so I feel a tiny bit good that my work and that it does help at least a small part of the time.

I MUST comment about your note to me and the part about Jonus passing away and having a sense  of peace about him and his beautiful face. Tears welled up in my eyes and I felt good...like I just found gold because I never thought they may know something good is about to happen. Me being the sensitive caring one and my life dealing with fears...I always think they're scared and feel alone so I'm glad you made me think something different.
Funny how we each affect each others lives for good or bad and your contact is always good.
May all good things be yours. dennis.

You're really an amazing, compassion person, to watch over and care for those many ducklings! You should be proud of your work, there needs to more people in the world like you.

I always cry whenever I think about Jonus but he was suffering and I am glad my mom amd I were there to comfort him for the last time. Even if it was extremely painful. That's why he looked at peace because his two favorite people could say goodbye. Your contact is always good, thanks for talking with me.

It's a pleasure to talk to a caring person that isn't a selfish jerk like yourself so don't thank me but it's nice to hear it..

I honestly do no harm to anything in life, and do all the good I can, and live a really clean life and still no one cares. Things like character and kindness, tenderness aren't admired much anymore and it hurts me to be truthful as they mean so much to me. Selfish...cold, ruthless with no ethics and grab all you can is today's values and none of those are mine. 

I feel a bit better right now as I called about 15 people as I traveled for 4 hours today until I got someone that gave me the name and number of a good vet that isn't too expensive.
The rescue people use this woman so I'm taking that stray cat there tomorrow at 3:20 pm to get her looked at as she's sick with something. I'm scared of losing that cat as outside cats die early from disease, but I prayed to God that maybe it can be fixed. At least I'll not go broke I hope taking her. It's not my cat and is homeless, but still I can't ever turn my back on the suffering or weak and especially animals so I'll have to pay from my pocket and this will be another one or two hundred dollars I bet. I can't afford it but I will anyhow and just rely on God to help me make some more money is all .....I hope anyhow.

All the best things in life to you...dennis

Well I definitely admire good character and kindness, and it's really wonderful to hear others like you still have values! Just talking to a goodhearted person like yourself makes my day.

You are a saint, that's incredible! I gotta strive to be more like you. All the best things in life to you as well. I hope your cat will be cured and healthy again. I'll be praying for you and all the lives you take care of. Hehe you're getting me to pray, something I don't do usually or I should say don't do enough.

Myself and Sainthood have nothing in common I'm afraid, but it sounds good to have something think I care about others though. I'm exactly like you and so many others that simply TRY to do the right things in life.
It must be God that has that impact because left to my own, having fun and using everybody around you is what is the easiest thing to do or way to live. I did that for a long time I guess but never hurt anyone.

It simply makes me feel good to know I do something good for someone else and if it's an animal, then that's great too.

I sure don't do it for any rewards here because 80% of people don't even have the decency to say thanks today.
Like my Haitian neighbor that I spent two months re-sodding his whole yard because the city gave him a ticket for so many weeds. It was in July and August and it's so frigging hot I almost killed myself and that jerk never even said thanks NOR did he EVER EVEN offer me a cold glass of water! If someone does anything for me I try to give them at least some money even if it was only ten minutes of work or at least I offer. I mean I can give tons of examples but who cares...just know that today saying thank-you is a big problem for most people. And they all seem to be foreigners too is what I see down here in south florida. I hate this place.

It means a lot for me to know you prayed for that little cat. I do all the time and I can sure use the help and I'm so grateful for your kindness. Thank-you so much. If you need me to mention something in prayer just let me know, but I did pray something good will happen to you very soon.

Hey anytime, it's always great talking to you. But yeah everything you said there I would consider saint worthy. Especially in the world we live in today where usually no one does anything for free and manners are almost non existent.

I can't believe your neighbor didn't give you a glass of water or money compensation in Florida of all places and in the summer too wow! Although not every person is like that. My rich neighbor used to plow our driveway for free in his backhoe. And also would mow our lawn without warning. One night when I came home he was yelling to my bf and I to come over and join them in watching them set off fireworks.

My family and extended family are always helping each other out. Maybe that's just cause we were raised better or because we grew up in a small town. Thank you so much for your prayers!

I wish I had anybody to help me, but everyone I know expects me to help them. I work with doctors that are rich and yet won't pay anything like someone is worth. They too simply take advantage of a persons situation and if you'll work for $5.00 an hour ....Okay... lets do it is their attitude.

I have never done that in my life to someone as I pay them for what they do, and I always take care of others. This hasn't turned out to be my world to be honest and is far too cruel and harsh for me, but I hang on anyhow no matter what. I often wonder whats it like to be joyful and carefree to some degree rather than just hanging on.

Henry David Thoreau once said "“Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with their song still in them.”
I relate so much to this now and yet never saw the point  of the quote for so many years.
