Loss

Today was 104 degrees.

I was in charge of the bird area. One of the volunteers came up to me and said, "One of the birds is lying on its back!" so I ran to the cage and there was a robin I was certain was dead. He just came in and wasn't eating well.

So I picked him up and he blinked and lifted his head a little. I got a little bit of fluids into him, but he passed away while I was holding him.

I'm not even going to try to counter that with a cute story or witty comment.
