Day 24: The bird

I realized that a lot of my grief was sorrow not only that I had caused the bird pain, but that I had caused pain to people I loved because they had loved the bird. It made me realize that no matter how much we want to shield others from pain, we will be incapable of it, and as much as we want to be perfect and have no regrets, we may be incapapable of that as well. How much we truly need the atonement in our lives!
