Hey Ani, I love your comment, and that you could visualise the baby being born, standing and then actually when nudged by his mother took a few unsteady steps. Miraculous! Love and hugs, Jennifer.

I'm so glad you can picture them in the wild dear Vijay others think of a zoo when a giraffe is mentioned and don't quite get the gist of the excitement and the danger of predators been around to grab the baby. Thank-you for a lovely comment my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer

Hi Jan, thank-you my friend - we were actually lucky enough to witness this on one of our trips to the Kruger National Park. I have just read the two poems that John wrote as tributes to you and Eve - they are exactly what both of you are, just wonderful. I think John is too sweet for words to write these poems.
