An
amazing email came from my best friend Mary today. I
first met her by email when she signed up to sponsor our
rescued duck Elijah. She is our longest-running sponsor.
When Elijah's life came to an end, Benny came to our
sanctuary and she sponsored him next. Both had serious
leg issues, so it kind of made sense somehow. Well
neither of us have talked about what to do next since
losing Benny. And then today came this email that went
something like this...
"The
strangest thing happened on Thursday (4th). As I was
coming out of anesthesia the name Jocamo kept
popping into my mind, but I was too groggy to figure out
where in the heck I had heard it. During lunch I was
telling <my friend> about it and she said I told her
that when they were rolling me back into the recovery
area where she was waiting for me. She couldn't figure
out what the heck I was talking about and got a good
laugh. All of a sudden it hit me! I said he's a duck! Jocamo
is a duck! ...And I'm guessing that it was Benny who
told me that I should be his sponsor! How weird and
awesome is that? So, I would love to be Auntie Mary to
Mr. Jocamo!"
The cool thing about Jocamo is his name
comes from the song Iko Iko, which is a marde gras song
and Mary is from Louisianna! How perfect and meaningful
is that!
I hadn’t even thought of it. I named him that because I
downloaded a new version of Iko Iko by Captain Jack off
of itunes for Isabel and I to listen to in the car--and
he was rescued just afterwards.
Jocamo & Oh Henry! share a little
