Isn't it funny when you grow old and hold on to those memories you have of the younger generation in your family?
To my mind, this is how I still think of my niece, Megan. She is the one who inspires me to do what I do. I remember showing her the owls in her backyard when she was a kid by calling out "who cooks for you?" And the barred owl would fly in and show off for all to see. I remember the look on her face as she watched the birds or animals I showed her. This is the Megan I know and still have a picture in my mind of how she still is.
She is all grown up now.
