From Derek Friend

Ok... so my empathy may stretch a little too far.

This is my Spider pet/friend.. she's always making a web on my loader. Well, Monday I backed into a tree limb and I was worried she was injured or gone.

My fear was true yesterday, she didn't make a web yesterday morning for the first time in months, and I felt like it was my fault so I felt awful all freaking day. I literally looked over an hour trying to find her in the crevices of my loader. NOWHERE!!!!

Got to work this morning and here she is in all her glory. 🤣🤣🤣 I was so freakin happy.

I think my empathy needs to be dialed back some because my soul hurt for a spider. 🥲

Jeffersonville, Kentucky

(Her name is Orbitz)

You are a kind spider bro, Derek! ♥️

I am glad you, and so many other people, enjoyed this little story!

I wasn't sure how this one would go over with the group at large, but I thought showing such love and concern over one of the smallest of creatures was very sweet. If only more people could show such compassion! ♥️
