And just like that, the sweetest bird that ever there was, was done nursing. She was ready. I sensed it and I say it because she seems totally unaffected by the stop. And I suppose I was ready too.

But.

But.

Woe is this momma when I think of things gone that will never come back.

Nurse as long as you want. Let others say nay. Sleep with your babies and keep it to yourself.

Me and Maxiney are a matched set. I’m her best momma that ever could be and she’s my best little bird. We do what is perfect for each other. And someday. Someday. She’ll need me less. But, as is true with no longer nursing, she’ll just need me differently.
