Josie doesn’t see anything. She is completely blind. And still she survived 17 years in the wild. Not by luck, not by force, not by instinct. She survives because her daughters never abandoned her
Every day, two young lionesses walk beside her: they guide her with her body, wait for her if she stays behind, surround her to perceive danger, take her to drink water and hunt for her
When they bring prey, they don’t eat first; they push it towards it so it’s the first to feed. If she gets confused or scared, they put themselves in front and behind to set the way for her. In difficult terrain, one stays by his side until she manages to advance
Months, Years ... Day after day, night after night. Two daughters protecting a mother who can’t see. And in wildlife, that’s almost impossible. Josie is still alive because someone decided not to let her go, because someone believed her life still mattered. Because even out there, where everything is brutal, love exists
She can’t see them, but they never stopped seeing her
