Love is Universal


Some of you might've seen this already but this is beautiful and needs to be shared.


His mate was injured and the condition was fatal.

She was hit by a car as she swooped low across the road.


He brought her food and attended to her with love and compassion.


He brought her food again but was shocked to find her dead.
He tried to move her... a rarely-seen effort for swallows.


Aware that his sweetheart is dead and will never come back
to him again, he cried with adoring love.


He stood beside her, saddened by her death.


Finally, aware she would never return to him,
he stood beside her body with sadness and sorrow.

... and many thought that animals do not have brains or feelings.
You have just witnessed an expression of love.

Thank you, Susan, for sharing this beautiful e-mail.

That was sad but also a beautiful thing to know that animals have feeling just like we do:~(
