ALVA, Florida (WBBH) — “I’m just always amazed at the personalities and the differences and their way of thinking,” said Terrilynn Dunford.
Among the many animals on Dunford’s Alva farm, there’s one she will never forget.
“Matilda, Princess Matilda, she had a sign out here that said ‘Queen and loving it,'” said Dunford.
Matilda was Dunford’s beloved Toulouse goose, who once ruled these grounds and now watches over her in heaven.
“She brought joy,” said Dunford.
Dunford took that joy and put pen to paper, filling pages of her children’s book, “Princess Matilda: A Silly Goose,” with their memories.
But most of all, what Dunford will never forget is the message Matilda imprinted on her heart.
“Everyone is special, and if people treat you differently, just continue to be nice and stay on your path,” said Dunford.
