Comments on: Ducklings At Home http://johnsadventures.com/archives/2008/04/ducklings-at-home/ The personal website of John Conners, a Scotsman living in Yorkshire who loves photography and writes software for a living Fri, 18 May 2012 23:14:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Vince http://johnsadventures.com/archives/2008/04/ducklings-at-home/comment-page-1/#comment-7075 Vince Sun, 29 Jun 2008 07:38:09 +0000 http://www.johnsadventures.com/?p=726#comment-7075 Hi John, Looking at these ducklings and the mother duck reminded me again about the article you wrote about your mom (to which I have uploaded a comment and to which you have just responded - thanks for that!), as well as my own dear mom, who I might lose in a few months or weeks. The duck pictures are supposed to give one a warm feeling, but they made me sad and teary-eyed, because I know I might lose my mom (the mother duck :)) soon. Please forgive my "whining" - the wound in my heart is still fresh from yesterday's dialog with my mom's doctor letting us (her sons) know that she has a terminal case. I am so glad I found your website. We may be very different on the outside (you are a tall, white European, while I'm a short, brown Asian living on the opposite side of the globe), but inside I can say we share exactly the same feelings about our respective moms. My very best wishes to you and your brother.

I'll be very disappointed if they don't return next year as it's such a treat to look after them!

I couldn't resist stroking one and it really was as soft and cute as it looks! :) They are so lovely and at one point they were running around me while I was taking pictures.
