As the bear cub regained its strength, Jeremy felt the bittersweet weight of saying goodbye. Their time together had been brief, but it had left a lasting impact. He watched the cub grow stronger, knowing it would soon return to a life meant for the wild.
The day finally arrived for the shelter team to take the bear cub to its new home. Jeremy knelt down beside it, giving a final, gentle stroke along its fur, feeling the weight of the moment. The cub looked up at him with trusting eyes, and as it was led away, a quiet ache settled in his heart, the farewell more difficult than he had imagined.
