Gratitude Beyond Words
The mother bear approached Marissa, her deep eyes holding a warmth that seemed almost human in its depth. With a gentle nudge, the massive creature rested her head briefly against Marissa’s, a silent thank you that spoke louder than any words. The cub, too, sauntered up, playfully tugging at her shoelaces. It was a moment of pure, unspoken gratitude, an acknowledgment of the bond they had formed.
