I just learned that there is a name for the tight huddle that Emperor penguins form to keep one another warm in the frigid Antarctic.
Amazingly, it’s called “turtle formation.”
Thanks to Krystin, a former colleague of Ed’s and a fan of the One Good Thing page, for this very meaningful tip.
That gave me chills. The good kind!
ReplyDeleteWow, there seems to be a very mystical connection between your little turtle and the new little penguin. So many signs.
ReplyDeleteOh Mandy this is absolutely precious.. it is amazing to me how you keep finding connections like this...
ReplyDeleteI have to believe that your daughter really likes whispering to you.....
love and grace- l
Now THAT is amazing! Blows me away.

Whoa, that gave me chills.
ReplyDeleteMandy, if I were not a person who already believed in the permanant connections between the living, the dead, and the not-yet-living, I would be now.
ReplyDeleteI love it. So many signs from sweet Hudson! I really believe in my heart she is smiling down on you, Ed, and her baby P.

This reminds me of something I recently learned. My son Gage died July 2009 when he was 8 months old. I read him the Velveteen Rabbit a lot and it was read at his service. We cremated him with my stuffed bunny that I had slept with my whole life. The day he died we came home and there was a bunny standing outside my window staring back at me. Then we started seeing bunnies on special occasions...even when the weather was not typical for seeing bunnies. This last Easter I was reading a book about bunnies. It said that the home that mommy bunnies make for their babies is called a warren. That is Gage's middle name. Gage Warren. It was meant to be:)
ReplyDeleteI love how life gives us these moments of grace. The funny thing too is that I see pictures of penguin's everywhere. I feel like Hudson is letting us know that she is ever so near and that she, too, is happy her sibling is on it's way.
