A Night of Resilience, A Life of Wonder

Arlen on the left, Peyton on the right

Sometimes, the most profound moments unfold in the quietest hours. The night Ayla’s babies were born was one of those nights—fraught with uncertainty, yet illuminated by love and determination. They struggled to take the bottle, so I stayed with them, syringe-feeding them between soft whispers of encouragement. These first four videos capture that tender night, when exhaustion and hope sat side by side in the dim glow of the clinic.

In the third video, we focus more closely on Arlen, his tiny body curling into the warmth, his hunger met with careful hands. In the fourth, Peyton takes the spotlight—small, fragile, yet so fiercely alive.

And then, there’s the final video. Six days have passed. Simply enjoy watching these little ones climb joyfully over their mother, their trust in the world already growing. Ayla, though still weary from her hardships, munches on hay as they explore the sanctuary of her love.

There is a lesson in their story. In the midst of our busy, overwhelming lives, how often do we pause to witness the quiet miracles around us? To simply watch, breathe, and take in the magic of existence? These moments of wonder are always there—if only we slow down enough to see them.

Take a breath. Press play. Let their story remind you of the beauty in the stillness.
