Lisa McDonald and her sister knew just the way to bring a smile to their mother's face.
Their mom is gravely ill, currently in palliative, and is obsessed with the movie Bambi, so why not bring her a real-life deer for a visit?
The sisters found a nearby couple, Chris and Simone, that own a mobile petting zoo near their home in Melbourne. Upon contacting them, Chris and Simone jumped at the chance to make their mother's dream a reality.
Lisa told the Daily Mail, "Mum deteriorated quickly today and Simone and Chris didn't hesitate… they drove two and a half hours to bring Bambi to meet mum. Out of pure love and kindness. I cannot thank them enough for what they have done for my mum and my family."
When Mom finally met the real-life deer, whose name was coincidentally Bambi, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
One person wrote on Facebook, "Brought me to tears. What a special and touching moment. Absolutely beautiful people to drive all that way for your mum to experience something so magical before she passes." Another added, "This is so beautiful. She would have absolutely loved this so much. You can see it in her eyes how much joy it brought to her. Bless them, and bless you and your beautiful Mum."
We concur.
