What a wonderful barn. So glad he gets his happy ever after forever new home. Glad to have been a tiny part of it. I'm sure Jackie Joe is smiling down from over the rainbow bridge. Fond memories of that donkey and the old farm.
Keep coming back to it... because it keeps warming my heart. And today, I shared your story with a whole bunch of great friends. Spreading, your good words. Love your scrawl LaDonna. You ROCK.
Again, you got me. I mean to say, you provided, something that I needed - today. I have a t-shirt that I received as a free gift, a free t-shirt. On the front it says "I am the difference". On the back is some hoke promotion for a storage unit business. But the front, I like it, even though the shirt does not fit me very well, I like the words. Words matter. But I was empty this morning. When I tried to write - nothing came. I could have forced something, but - No. That would not have felt right and the words would reflect what my soul felt. Emptiness, void. The meaning would not fit the words. If it's not there, give it time, a little time. The words will come. And then, your words, this piece, LaDonna, this morning. "I am the difference." You were, your are - the difference. A thought, action and words - all coming together. A difference, a real difference. One of God's creatures, living a better life, because of the difference you made. Thank you for showing us - the way, A WAY, forward. Thank you.
A riveting warm and fuzzy "real life" story in print is so attractive ... it's beautiful LaDonna! The rich luxury of words and the images eclipse the scroll stuff on TicTok, Instagram, etc. Thank you!
Truly the best thing I've seen. Thank you for sharing his new home and thank you for not giving up on him.
Yay - finally! So happy to hear that sweet Toast is home!!! Bless you for rescuing and taking care of him.
This made my day!! 💜🥰❤️
Oh what a wonderful life you've given to him. This is compassion personified (donkeyfied?). Thank you. 🫂
Love, love, love!

I love that you keep coming back to it. Every time I think about Bonanza Toast in his new home, I get a big smile too.
