Two months ago, 8 little treasures came to life
Since that day, I have seen them grow
Their first cry, first time they opened their eyes, first steps, first time outside...
All eight had a different personality
And I got to know each one.

Lovable creatures they all are

Now, the first one left home this morning for a long journey, many hours drive from here, many years ahead away from its original nest... God, it made me cry... I don't look forward for this evening as hour after hour, they will all go.

Fortunately, one of them will stay all his life with us. Sir Redworth will find strange being alone with his mom and dad, no brothers and sisters around to play with. He will be OK, but I keep thinking of those that will find themselves alone for the first time. Deep into my heart, I wish I chose the right families for them all.
