    Sunnie Day

    I am a retired nurse who now enjoys writing and sharing stories. I am the mother of four grown children and the grandmother of four beautiful grandchildren with one on the way. I live in the great state of Texas and come from an all military family. I myself was in the Army years ago. I am so proud of our military and to have served. I have always loved to write but it has been many years since my pen has taken flight.I love to take an ordinary situation and turn it into a humorous piece. Many of the short articles have been taken from my own life. My family hides now when I say, "Oh I must write about that!" Where is their sense of humor? My poor husband falls victim most of the time. I also have found that after all these years I do still have an imagination, creating fictional stories that take the reader to places unknown. You may find me on Sunnies Pen to Page on Wordpress, where I introduce new writers and their work. My site, Graceful Intentions. I hope you will stop by and have look. My work is also found on Amazon, Yahoo Contributor, and Authors Den as well. Thank you for stopping by, Sunnie

      Introduction

      The North Carolina Mountains can be harsh and even cruel to the many animals that live in the woods. Nature offers many blessings to the wildlife that live there, but the mighty hunter can take it away with one shot, leaving native deer to run for their lives. This is a story of one such deer named Daya. Her story was passed down through many generations and is still shared, as if it were yesterday. Some say she was a legend, some say she never existed; only you can be the judge.

      Chapter 1

      I am so tired Finley, I am not sure I can go on! I cried, as I stopped to rest at the base of a big white oak tree.

      You must Daya, the baby will be here soon, we must find a safe birthing place, explained Finley thoughtfully.

      The fawn is getting restless. I can tell she does not appreciate the pace in which we are moving, I exclaimed, attempting to catch my breath.

      Finley stopped, having compassion on my condition. While Finley never had a fawn of her own, she had a motherly spirit that I needed being so young. I listened as she offered some encouraging words.

      Just a little longer Daya, then we will rest, I promise but we must press on.

      Finley and I had been traveling along the rocky Cherokee trails that ran through North Carolina’s mountainous terrain for days. We were tired and hungry but we could not stop for long as danger lurked on every turn. Only the most skilled Bucks had made it through the hunting seasons, finding their way to
