it was so hard to see her panicking, she has felt safe with us and in that moment she felt at risk.

ReplyDeleteMy daughters did that for over a year after they came home to us. Every time they had ever seen someone in uniform, it was an ugly experience for them. It took a lot of time to heal that particular wound for them. Hopefully Mama Bear will never have to experience ugliness like that again.
