I love the line "I touched a giraffe and I cried." I have a picture of one of my daughters feeding a giraffe a carrot out of her mouth. THat might make you laugh instead of cry! Your use of ...'s is really effective in this piece--it kind of brings us along with you. Nice!
You touched a giraffe?!?! Wow! I agree with Melanie...that's my favorite line. So simple. So powerful! Thank you for sharing. I always, always, always feel inspired after reading your posts!! (And I needed it this afternoon!)
Animals are such a gift...each precious life a miracle.

ReplyDeleteI've never touched a giraffe, but I can imagine it would be remarkable. They're such gorgeous creatures. How wonderful that you got to get so close.
