The Decorah Eagles will always have my heart. I cried just as hard when Dad died as I did when one of my family members passed. Decorah Mom is the best example of never giving up. She has been through the hardest of times yet she perseveres. I will never, ever forget her mournful cries as she waited for Dad to return. But she carried on with her heavy heart and did what she had to do for her family that remained. She has my respect and admiration forever. So, now, as eagles will do, they are building a new nest, which while it is hard to think we might not have a birdseye view of their everyday life, we do know that they are well and preparing for a new nesting season. We know where they are and ever get to see them from time to time. I am thankful for that! Watching the daily lives of our eagles has been a blessing to me when my life was lonely and when my life was bright. Chatting with my "eagle friends" is the icing on the cake. So I will stay devoted to the Decorah Eagles no matter what. They are my nest, my eagles and my favorite!
