I found that he was holding a cup of water. He walked very carefully not to drop the water.I saw a baby deer lying on the ground. It lifted its head to drink the water in my sons cup. After the deer drank up, Billy jumped up and ran back to the house to get more water. When he saw me, he said, Im not wasting. I found that his eyes were filled with tears.“I know. I watched the most beautiful heart working so hard to save another life. Tears ran down my face. As my tear drops began to hit the ground, other drops and more drops and more suddenly joined them I looked up at the sky. It was raining.Some people would say this was all just a huge coincidence .
