All Kids Need Their Mommy
09/24/2015


You often reference the animal kingdom as support that children need their moms. Here's a heartwarming story from Australia about a baby koala that needed his mom so much, he clung to her even while she underwent surgery. I credit the veterinarians for recognizing how important a mom's touch was. They didn't dare separate the two; even for just a few hours.

Thank you for all you do for children! Have a fabulous day.

Lizzy the koala was taken to a wildlife hospital in an Australian zoo, with her son holding on to her side. Poor Lizzy had been hit by a car. Her little boy, Phantom, only 6-months-old, was luckily unharmed and refused to leave his mother. Lizzy suffered a collapsed lung that required emergency surgery. Phantom continued to hold on and would not leave her even during the operation. Lizzy survived the surgery and is currently recovering with Phantom by her side. These amazing images displaying a son's love for his mother are heartwarming.
