Comment: The comment I have just read saying that this story was the most beautiful and moving heard on days like this is just what I want to write myself and I would like to thank Brigid too but it was so sad Brigid and I do hope you have been able to replace your lovely goat. They are animals I love too.

Comment: Complete agreement with the previous comments. It was totally captivating and Brigid's voice with its soft accent was beautiful to listen to and conveyed all the emotion she must have felt on that day. I could picture the whole scene. What a lovely lady. This was a most moving and poignant piece.
