Heartbroken over theft

July 14, 2015 by Guest Post

It will be four years July 19th that my mom passed away from cancer.
I know this is silly but one of the things I received of my mom’s was her plastic solar hummingbirds. I would often sit on my front step and watch them change colors and think of my mom. She had them for many years and I know she would watch them also. Hummingbirds were her favorite. I often thought it was crazy that after all these years they still work.
Recently someone took them from my yard. Didn’t bother to take the stands they sat on, just the birds.
I feel as though I am a good neighbor. Never cause trouble and stick to myself. I have lived here since 2008 and love Stevensville. This broke my heart. I’m sure whoever took the silly things doesn’t know what they meant to me.
My mom was a beautiful, kind, caring soul that everyone loved. I don’t have the heart to take the stands down. I should have just let this whole thing go, but I wanted whoever took them to know how much they meant to me.
