Eagle and cancer survivor help each other fight for life

I scoff at Lifetime channel movie weepers, but animal stories always get me. Here is one posted on Snopes recently about Freedom, a fledgling bald eagle that fell out of her nest at a Seattle golf course, crushing both of her wings.

She was nursed back to health by Jeff Guidry, an educational team member at an Everett, WA. wildlife care center, who later was diagnosed with cancer.

Dare you to read it and not cry. Double dog dare.

What a BEAUTIFUL story....yes, its a tearjerker, but it is truly a wonderful illustration of the healing power of love...there is truly something miraculous in the love between a human and an animal...this time the "Angel Animal" was an eagle. And I LOVE that photo...wow.
