There's the piglets!

There's a great deal of wisdom packed into your story here, and speaks volumes for the power of faith, but in a manner where you actively work towards the outcome you have faith in. Had you not acted in every way you could think of, the result may have not been the same.

The reality is, that they negotiated with me if I was willing to pay for her.

I have somewhat negative feelings about money being the first topic in someone's mind who's summoned for help. What ever happened to just helping someone out for the sake of helping, without expecting something in return? I guess it depends on the help being asked, and time being a valuable commodity, and level of friendship/relationship. Interesting thing to think about though.

The search for Miley lasted from Sunday afternoon until Tuesday morning. During those anxious hours, I thought about how life can be unpredictable. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we can't control everything.

It's great you found Miley and were able connect this deep aspect of life and how uncontrollable/unpredictable things can be sometimes.
