" Peanut " Feb. 1999 ------ Sept. 2 1999
Eastern Grey Squirrel
When you came to me you were only four weeks old.
I kept you tucked inside my shirt right next to my heart.
As you got older you would venture out and explore the house,
but if you were frightened or tired you would always return
to the warmth of my shirt. It was impossible not to
smile in your company with your profound curiosity and
exuberant "happy dance".
When you got sick you looked to me to make you better
but this time I was powerless to make you well.
I am so very thankful for the time I did have with you and you
have certainly convinced me that squirrels are one of the
most wondrous of all God's creatures.
I hope I made your life as full as you made mine.
I love you Peanut.
