forever and always


did you know that many different birds mate for life and also feel pain and sadness when ones life is lost?  someone once told me that they thought animals didn't have feelings...i sometimes wonder if they feel more than we do.

i told matthew that i want our marriage to be like that of an owl...full of adventure, forever and always, till death do us part...just like it should be :)

have a beautiful day friends...i can't believe the holidays are just around the corner!!

  9. Yes, I have heard this before and I think it's so sweet. Swans are another type of bird that mate for life. I think Cardinals are too.

  11. Such a beautiful sentiment! I love the owls, that picture is so lovely!

    This also reminds me of one of my favorite parts of one of the best movies: The Notebook...."If you're a bird, I'm a bird." :)

  22. Forever and Always,
    One of my most favorites. Owls are amazing. They have so many different things about them. They're wise, they're one's mate forever, and they're also known as a bad omen in Native American culture. Very interesting.
    You and Matthew are so sweet. I hope you both have a wonderful Christmas!
    Love to you darling.
