Sometimes in ur life, you meet someone or something with whom/which you bond INSTANTLY. You are ready to do whatever it takes to ensure that things turn out right.....u wish for things to BECOME right with every fibre of your being.
I met my "little racoon" (a little mongoose) in the winter of 2001...and the similarities between Calvin's story and mine are just TOO uncanny. I found him when I was playing with julie in our courtyard. Like Calvin, I put him in a shoe box and tried feeding him (but to no avail). By the 2nd day, he recognised my touch......Though he had grown really weak, I started thinking of the times that lay ahead...him by my side, hale and hearty, sitting on my shoulder, nibbling on my ear, getting on julie and comet's nerves :)
He died the next day......Like Calvin, it tore me up, primarily because it was my fault that he died (i...er....overfed him)
maybe it was a test that i was put through, to see how i handle the sudden passing of someone (or someTHING) I really care about........I think i scored a D
Like calvin, I'm glad i met the little thing..........................he's still there inside me.
