Every time I see a Cardinal it reminds me of a story I know, about a Cardinal like the one pictured above and a young boy. A brief encounter, an accident, and a boy changed forever, and afterwards this boy vowing to always be a champion for anything or anyone too small or incapable of … Continue reading »
