    A Soft Heart

    My 16 years old daughter Gabby was out mowing the front yard as a favor to her old dad. Before I knew it she came back in the house yelling that she accidentally hit a snake. She was in tears, as she loves garter snakes. I went out and found a 2nd year dark phase female radix in bad shape and certainly not an injury it would survive. I sent Gabby in the house and dispatched the young snake as fast as I could. I went back in the house and found my Gabby still in tears apologizing. As I hugged her I explained it was just one of the dangers for these snakes as they live close to us. Gabby was the keep of our "Lucky", the best, most docile and interactive garter I've ever seen.
    I love my Gabby's heart for the radixes. Someday, she'll pass that love and appreciation onto her own children.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Finishing off an accident is always hard.

    Sorry for the loss! Yep! The passion will definitely be passed on, that is for sure. Life lessons come in all sorts of ways.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.
