The day Sophie saved a lizard...and changed my life

So...this Saturday Jeremie and Sophie went fishing. Oh, we live in a new house these days and the lake is technically our backyard, we just use our neighbor's dock to fish. Apparently, this weekend they wanted to catch different things... Or at least bait different things. They decided to use baby frogs and one special blue tailed lizard. Sophie found this lizard under the cross ties around the fire pit (which is under construction). She saw that it was sitting on eggs. With some hesitation, she picked it up and put it the red Folger's coffee jug. Jeremie told me later when he hooked the belly of the lizard, Sophie lost it. She cried non stop, watching the lizard flail about in the water. "That lizard is a mama, we shouldn't have taken her, I regret this so much!" she cried. Jeremie told her that they had basically already killed her, "There's a hook in her stomach, if we take her out now, she won't live." Sophie couldn't take this news and begged for Jeremie to save the lizard. He agreed after she cried uncontrollably. Poor little Sophie had a plan, "If this lizard doesn't live, I'm going to warm the eggs every weekend when I'm here," she said. Sophie walked back to the original home of she the lizard, placed it on the eggs and walked back to the dock. Again, Jeremie told her "Don't be upset if that lizard doesn't live." THIS is when you grab your tissue, folks. Sophie thought for a seconds and said, "You know what, that lizard is going to make it...she is going to get through this traumatic experience... And she is going to live for her babies. THAT IS what Mumsy would do." By the way, she calls me Mumsy. They fished for two more hours. They checked on that lizard and she was alive... Guarding and warming her eggs. 
Last night, Jeremie cut the grass and that lizard is still alive...sitting on her eggs, putting that traumatic experience behind her and being a Mama. 
I can't tell this story without crying. Sophie has been such a blessing to my life and to hear the way she talks about me is incredible. I pray I'm as much as an inspiration to her as she is to me. That girl. She's amazing.
