aawww. the scene where the bird cooed back at her before it flew to find it’s family, again.. wonderful/awesome to the extreme… one of the most beautiful things you’ve written .
nursing the bird so tenderly. tkaes a gentle loving soul, Martina is a refreshing character.

That was sweet, and definitely seems an apt example of your style and tone. The ending bit has an almost allegorical feel to it for parenthood.
