"As it had shined across him all his life, so understanding lighted that moment for Jonathan Seagull. They were right. He could fly higher, and it was time to go home.
He gave one last look across the sky, across that magnificent silverland where he had learned so much.
"I'm ready " he said at last.
And Jonathan Livingston Seagull rose with the two starbright gulls to disappear into a perfect dark sky."
Jonathan Livingston Seagull
Richard Bach
It would seem that the impact of someone in your life isn't measured by their size, or even how long they're with you. Sometimes people animals and even small little wild birds can sidle up to you and begin to resonate throughout your life. You see your struggles in their struggles, you understand their challenges because you too are challenged that way. Without realizing it's happened they become a teacher and a kind companion for your sorrows and joys.
I hope you come back next life Fidge as a soaring eagle, who knows nothing but the freedom of the wind and the joy of flight.
