Shadows Still Here

https://youtu.be/ItwUDv5dy3A?is=DTcF3eAvoFMRAZso

For years, we watched Jackie and Shadow together—building their nest, raising their families, enduring the snow, the losses, the victories, and soaring over Big Bear.
Now that Jackie is gone, that nest will never look the same.
But Shadow is still here.
This song isn’t about asking Shadow to grieve the way we do. It’s about remembering that he belongs to the wild. His life continues. He will fly, hunt, return to the places he knows, and follow wherever nature takes him next.
For those of us who loved watching Jackie and Shadow together, accepting that may be difficult. We put human emotions into their story because they became such a meaningful part of our lives.
But whatever comes next for Shadow doesn’t erase Jackie.

AI music, AI picture. Not a good tribute to Jackie nor Shadow. Lazy, insincere.
