I feel blessed to have been there and shared this joyful moment. I think the symbolism of the finch couldn't be more appropriate:
"When a finch animal spirit swoops into your life, you can take it as a message of praise and congratulations for the liveliness, enthusiasm and excitement that have been characterizing your life as of late. Finches remind us to enjoy our lives, savoring each moment of joy that we experience, so to uphold this message pleases the finch greatly. It should make you feel very satisfied with the current state of your life and entice you to continue living in such a way."
The whole thing is really worth a read:
