Tweet until death do us part

I was driving today (yes....again.... driving that mammoth gas hogging machine) to drop my kids off at their summer camp program.  In the middle of the road I spotted a small little birdie helplessly lying on its back, flapping its wings, clearly in the throws of injury and oncoming death.  (it probably got hit by another gas hogging mammoth machine.) 

Ya know what got me, to the core of my soul....was that on the injured bird's side was it's partner (husband or wife birdie?) cheeping away and hopping about, quite in distress.  I almost started to cry.  It was so damn sad.  (no I am NOT pms'ing.)  I tell ya, sometimes life just knocks you upside the head and sends an arrow into your heart.  I think that was God telling me to stop bitching and start appreciating.

PS - on the way home the little birdie was dead.  :(
