I posted this video clip to twitter and in fact google+ yesterday after first seeing it on my friend and fellow homeschooling mum, Jacinda's blog.

Imagine my sadness to learn only a few hours later in the day, this beautiful and amazing woman who tells us here the story of the brave little hummingbird, had just passed away after her courageous battle with cancer.

Thank you for inspiring us to be all that we can be, to do the best that we can. Rest in Peace.
