Everyone who’s had the privilege of experiencing the miracle of birth knows that it can be messy and it doesn’t always follow a prescribed schedule.
Mixed into the excitement and joy, there’s always a twinge of anxiety in the air until it’s assured that the birth went well.
And that’s exactly how Amy Hill felt when her 10-year-old sheep Dotty was expecting lambs.
It’s not like there was a reason to think anything would go wrong—Dotty had given birth several times before and had always produced healthy offspring—but this time, everything would be different.
Sonwy River Farms in Nova Scotia, Canada raises animals without using genetically modified crops, and the animals are taken care of in a humane and ecologically friendly manner.
The farm has many animals, but Amy Hill has always held Dotty in special place in her heart, as she was Amy’s first female sheep.
Cheers to Another Year of Life: Hoping for an Overflow of Birthday Wishes Today!
On the day I turned 15 years old, I eagerly anticipated the flood of birthday greetings from friends and family. However, to my dismay, the expected wave of messages never arrived. The feeling of disappointment quickly crept in, leaving me wondering if I was undeserving of love and celebration. Nevertheless, upon introspection, I realized that the absence of external recognition did not define my worth or the significance of my special day. Birthdays are more than just a number of well-wishes; they present an opportunity to appreciate the love and joy that reside within oneself and cherish the relationships and moments that truly matter. Despite the few birthday greetings, I am determined to make this year one filled with self-love, growth, and unforgettable memories.
