And this... would be why it is called Robin's Woods

Round Robin Photo Challenge: Broken

Dear Mom,

I found a gift from the fauna today, and in a heartbeat, it reminded me of you. I'm sorry you never got to see the woods that were named in your memory. When we first came to this forest and I saw all the robins that called it home, I knew we had found where we were meant to be. You would have loved all the squirrels and chipmunks here too. 

You never stopped missing your family, your "pet" squirrel, Peter, or your beloved robins in Brantford. I love that you wanted to give me a name that symbolized everything so precious to you, and wish you could have known that we named this place in honor of that love.

The robin's egg shell was just laying there, waiting for me to find it and remember one more time who -- and what -- inspired a life in these woods.

I miss you Mommy.
